I took my chances on a one way ticket home Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I’d known Thought the time for settling down had come at last Guess I hoped to find my future in the past Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be I will tell you stories of my times across the sea You’re the legenday girl I left behind Can’t begin to count the times you crossed my mind And oh your children well the youngest looks just like you She’s a picture of her mother And there’ll never be another Quite like you       You’re an angel and a time that I don’t know any more     So good night I’ll take my memories to bed You know that be waking up alone              I should have noticed that the years were slipping by Still you’re just as lovely as the day we said goodbye Like an old familiar poem that just won’t rhymn I could get back to ther place but not the time and oh your children well the youngest looks just like you She’s the picture of her mother   and there’ll never be another quite like you You’re an angel and a time that I don’t know anymore And so goodnight I’ll take my memories to bed And know that I’ll be waking up alone   Posting the best in Power Pop!
