When first I came to town, I came in from the country
Not a penny did I have, and not one cent could I offer
But still our love it grew, and our troubles they were few, they were few
Many times I tried to tell you all the hurt that I was feelin'
But my thoughts stumbled in my mind, and then words lost their meaning
I didn't mean to cause you pain, so I'm leaving once again, once again
Ain't no need to think of me, I'll be happy where I'm goin'
I've got roots that need a plantin', and a love that needs a growin'
Where my pride won't have to bend, and my lips can taste the wind, taste the wind
And as for you, your tears will heal all the wounds that been opened
Just as time will clear the fields of all the flowers that have ripened
Of all these things you can be sure, only love will endure
