Won't do no good
  To hold no seance
  What's gone is gone and
  You can't bring it back around
  Won't do no good
  To hold no searchlight
  You can't illuminate
  What time has anchored down
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone away)
    Won't do no good
  To sing no love song
  No sound could simulate
  The presence of a man
  Won't do no good
  Asking no questions
  Your divination should
  Acquaint you with the plan
    Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone away)
    My feel for you, boy
  Is decaying in front of me
  Like the carrion
  Of a murdered pery
  And all I want is
  To save you, honey
  You can't intimidate me
  Back into your arms
    Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone a)
  Oh, honey
  (I've gone away)
    My feel for you, boy
  Is decaying in front of me
  Like the carrion
  Of a murdered prey
  And all I want is
  To save you, honey
  Or the strength
  To walk away
    My feel for you, boy
  Is decaying in front of me
  Like the carrion
  Of a murdered prey
  And all I want is
  To save you, honey
  Or the strength
  To walk away
