I'm Sorry I Must Leave Lyrics

I'M SORRY I MUST LEAVE

Ralph McTell

If I find another way to save you all this pain
I wouldn't take that evening train,
Or tell you it's goodbye again.
But it would be so wrong of me to stay.

If I find another way that couldn't be the same,
She'd never call me by my name
The way you do, but it's me I blame
And I'm sorry I must leave.

If I try and make you see that things aren't what we plan
And I say goodbye and touch your hand.
I know that you won't understand
The pain is just as great for me.

If I find another way that couldn't be the same,
She'd never call me by my name
The way you do, but it's me I blame
And I'm sorry I must leave.
