[Verse 1]
Hey, Margaret, I left you a note
Did you get what I wrote?
I laid it between your records
It said I'm changing my mind
And I'm leaving to find
An answer for both of us
I think that it's better
That we be apart
I've got to find out
What life is about
I'll drop you a postcard
From time to time
When I, when I, get to Love City

[Verse 2]
Hey, Margaret, I landed today
And I flew all the way
Now I know what you'll say about airplanes
If God had meant us to fly
We'd be amply supplied with wings
Ah, didn't he?
I can't waste a minute
A minute won't wait
How would you like if I found it
A minute too late?
Margaret, I miss you
Want you by my side
While I'm, while I'm in Love City
[Verse 3]
Hey, Margaret, I'm not comin' home
And I'll stay here alone
If you can't get free to follow
But Margaret, the days are so few
Won't you please hurry too?
There's so much we must do for tomorrow
It's getting much closer
It's coming your way
And something more beautiful happens
Inside me everyday
I'm sending a flower
They're hard to find
They grow, as you know, in Love City
