Just Please Leave Me - Tim Buckley

Well it seems as though we’ve been foolin' each other again

And I can’t find out really who is to blame

But from what I’ve heard we didn’t try for another name

Do kings and queens always end up so lame?

Do singers and poets always have to explain?

Just please just leave me so you won’t put me down

Just please leave me so I won’t have to drown

Just please leave me so you won’t let me down

Well your picture in my room has been drivin' me insane

And thoughts of you leavin' have been a’crawlin' all around my brain

And hopes of you stayin' have just flushed down the drain

When lovers die does it leave so much pain

Take a hammer to break away the chain

Just please just leave me so you won’t put me down

Just please leave me so I won’t have to drown

Just please leave me so you won’t let me down

Well it seems as though we’ve been foolin' each other again

And I can’t find out really who is to blame

However, from what I’ve heard, we didn’t try for another name

Do kings and queens always end up so lame?

Poets and singers always have to explain

Just please just leave me so you won’t put me down

Just please leave me so I won’t have to drown

Just please leave me so you won’t let me down
