She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

We had...

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill

And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I always have respected her for doin' what she did and gettin' free

Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way.

Oh, the bitter taste still lingers on,

from that night I tried to make her stay.

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.

She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill

And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

If you're making love to her, kiss her for the kid

who always has respected her for doin' what she did

Oh, I know it had to be that way, it was written in the cards.

But the bitter taste still lingers on, it all came down so hard.

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off

Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.

The version from Sept 19th uses the same chords, played only in a slightly more square rhythm.

Later live versions have a different beginning for the 2nd verse:

We had a falling out like lovers sometimes do

And to think of how she left that night, it still hurts me through and through.

Lyrics from a post to r.m.d.

It's hard to tell if he really changes to C in lines 1, 2 and 4, or to D in the first line.

GIf you see her Csay helGlo, she might bDe in North SaiGgon C G G

C G D Dsus4sus2 D

She left here in a hurry; I don't know what she was on

You might Csay that I'm in Gdisarray and for me time's standing Cstill

Oh I've Gnever gotten Cover Gher, I don't Amthink I ever Gwill

A bright light from me I saw, a shattering of souls

Just one of them reckless situations, which nobody controls

Well, the menagerie of life rolls by, right before my eyes

[And we?] all do the best we can, which should come as no surprise

If you're making love to her, watch it from the rear

You'll never know when I'll be back, or liable to appear

For it's natural to dream of peace as it is for rules to break

And right now I've got not much to lose, so you'd better stay awake

Sundown, silver moon, hitting on the days

My head can't toler...understand no more, what my heart don't tolerate

Well I know she'll be back someday, of that there is no doubt

And when that moment comes Lord, give me the strength to keep her out
