It was a quite summer night
The moon was full and the stars were bright
The kids laid fast asleep
In their beds
The phone rang once or twice
You picked it up and sighed
“I can’t tell a lie, my darling
‘Cause my husband is nearby”
But the whole time we were talking
I was listening on the other end
It was hard to figure out
You’re in love with another man
As the tears stream down
My sad and sorrow face
I begin to feel alone
In this vast unpleasant place
I knew I had to find, my darling
Another place to stay
Because if I stayed here any longer
I’d be running away
And I kissed the kids and I packed my bags
And slipped off into the night
I say to you, my darling
I hope things turn out right
As the tears stream down
My sad and sorrow face
I begin to feel alone
In this vast unpleasant place
I knew I had to find out
Another place to stay
Because if I stayed here any longer
I’d be running away
