The One Who Went Away - Edie Brickell

Out on the moor he met his lover, in the wet grass up to her knees

And there he swore he loved no other, then he came running home to me

And will she cry all night?

and will she cry all day?

And will she cry all night?

just for the one who went away?

Out on the moor shes waiting for him

Shes like a wolf under the moon

And I am sighing here beside him

Hes right behind me lying spoons

And will she cry all night?

and will she cry all day?

And will she cry all night?

just for the one who went away?

Oooo, oooo

She is an early morning silhouette

Against a slowly rising sun

Shes walking home and all her clothes are wet

And she is frozen to the bone

And will she cry all night?

and will she cry all day?

And will she cry all night?

just for the one who went away?

Oooo, oooo

I crept away while he was sleeping

I took my bag and left our home

When he awakes hell look for me

And hell find himself there all alone

And will he cry all night?

and will he cry all day?

And will he cry all night?

just for the one who went away?
