Early in the morning she'll be leaving

To visit with her mother for a spell

But I know that's really not the reason

Because I know what she's doing all to well

She says she doesn't know how long she's staying

Cause she hasn't seen her mother for so long

What she really means but isn't saying

Is she needs to get the feel of being gone

She would never simply leave me

Unless she knew that it was really best

Up till now she has no way of knowing

Tell she puts really leaving to the test

I know I'd be wrong to try and stop her

There's nothing I can do but go along

And get used to the feel of being lonesome

In case she likes the feel of being gone

She has got to know for certain

What it's like to live away from me

I'm so afraid I'm gonna lose her

Once she gets the taste of being free

I know I'd be wrong to try and stop her

There's nothing I can do but go along

And get used to the feel of being lonesome

In case she likes the feel of being gone

In case she likes the feel of being gone
