Angeline

I sold the house last Tuesday
I went to brother's house for beers
The heat turned off last Sunday
But it's been cold in here for years
And I could tell that you've been changing
While all along I stay the same
While your life's been rearranging
All you left me was my name

And it all seems like a dream
You've gone and left me, Angeline
You ain't telling a lie
I can see it your eyes

Well all the folks
They've been asking
How you've been
And where you are
I hope you find what you are looking for out there
It's hard to tell from afar

And I guess it's hard to tell
What's to be in the coming years
I guess I knew we wouldn't make it
But what do I do with all these tears

You were my beauty queen
You've gone and left me, Angeline

You ain't telling a lie
I can see it your eyes
You ain't telling a lie
I can see it your eyes.
