David Bromberg - Last Song for Shelby Jean

I got a terrible thought in my mind
I think we've said all we've got to say
And that awful hour that you've been searching for
We finally found it yesterday

Now I think you know, baby it's time to go
Not tomorrow, but today
We tried in the past to make the thing last
But it only hurts for longer that way

There's no way back from here
The birds have eaten all the crumbs
And don't bring me your fears
You have to take whatever comes

And this time spare me your tricks
They just make me feel sick
Do I really look that dumb?
You must have hit me by now
With everything you've got
And all I can feel is numb

Please don't call me anymore
You know how much I hate the phone
And don't come to my house
I need to spend some time alone

Oh yes, I know all right
How much I'll want you at night
Good God I'm not made of stone
But this is really goodbye
If you want you can cry
But I think you'd better just go home
