There's a weary man on the porch where she left him
Such a handsome man, how he wastes away
There's a weary man on the porch where she left him
Watching memories rise and burn and fall away

How she came and made it clear and bright
How she came and gave him fire and fight
How she broke and made it sure as night
That he'll never fall in love again

There's a pretty baby on the porch whеre she left hеr
Such a pretty baby, how she wails away
There's a handsome man on the porch singing softly
Mama's gone, but Daddy's always gonna stay

How to hold you, hush, it's fine, all fine
You're not lonely, dear, it's clear and bright
Now the only thing to fear at night
Is that you'll never fall in love again

Now morning comes softly and the babe sleeps tight
?? scenes you left the woman behind
And he's eating, working, and he moves just fine
It's his heart that won't be the same again

And he wrote to tell her the babe's alright
And he wrote to tell her they're all just fine
And he wrote to tell her what she left behind
That he'll never fall in love again
Her scent, it faded, as the autumn came
Under cover of a summer rain
It was orange and blue and the scarlet light
Changed the scene, but the memory stays

How she came and it made it clear and bright
How she came and gave him fire and fright
How she broke and made it sure as night
That he'll never fall in love again
That he'll never fall in love again
