I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flameAnd I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did I never thought you wouldMoonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case
The fragrance of your body rests beneath my head
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's deadAnd I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did I never thought you wouldNever thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave until you wentMorning comes and morning goes with no regret
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairsAnd I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did I never thought you would
