Lazy Lady - Michael Nesmith, The Second National Band

There were so many things that I should have said

When I finally said good-bye

But the gist of things to come

Showed me nothing could be done

To save a love that already died

And, yet, still it breaks my heart to have to walk away

In the middle of such staggering pain

I would like to press you close

And offer you my coat

As shelter from the gathering rain

But that would just compound the hurt

That comes with such moments

And make it all more difficult to bear

And so I’ll walk away and leave you alone

To seek comfort from the things you know are real

But don’t let my silence hide

The tenderness inside

That memories of you will make me feel

And so I’ll walk away and leave you alone

To seek comfort from the things you know are real

But don’t let my silence hide

The tenderness inside

That memories of you will make me feel

Please don’t let my silence hide

The tenderness inside

That memories of you will make me feel
