[Verse 1]
Well I hate this stupid feeling
It makes me feel so mighty sad
'Cause you left me
You left me baby
It makes me feel so mighty bad

[Chorus]
And I turn to the left
There's nobody there
I turn to the right
There's no one in sight
Oh, we'll never get back all the precious time that we've lost
So why did you go
I can see your face has drifted away across the sea
To where you'd rather be

[Verse 2]
Well now three thousand miles
Is a long way to go
And the nights don't go any faster
And the days seem so slow

[Chorus]
And I turn to the left
There's nobody there
I turn to the right
There's no one in sight
Oh, we'll never get back all the precious time that we've lost
So why did you go
I can see your face has drifted away across the sea
To where you'd rather be

[Verse 3]
Why'd you have to go away
Please just come on home
Why'd you have to go away
Don't leave me all alone to cry

Oh, we'll never get back all the precious time that we've lost
So why did you go

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh --
