Told My Girl To Go Away
© ian parker - march 2006

I told my girl to go away
I told my girl to go away
And though she had to go
Something told me I had been betrayed

I wrote my sins out in the sand
I wrote my sins out in the sand
I prayed my friend the wind
Would whistle by and disperse the grains
But I did not truly believe
And my acquaintance simply never came

I told my girl to go away
I told my girl to go away
And though she had to go
Something told me I had been betrayed

Do I have love within my heart?
Do I have love within my heart?
I asked myself a thousand times
But it turns out I'm not so wise
When we're apart
I need more time to tread new ground
To find a place from where to start

But even though it seems
Like you don't need me tonight
There's still a chance that I
Will be your guiding light

I told my girl to go away
I told my girl to go away
And though she had to go
Something told me I had been betrayed
I don't know if she's coming back
I never really thought that she would stay
I don't know if she's coming back
I never really thought that she would stay
I don't know if she's coming back
I never really thought things would turn out my way
