[Verse 1]

Sit down, oh darling

Won't you sit down beside me

Though I fear that I've no good news to tell

Oh yes, hold me now

If for one last time only

And talk to the boy you used to know

[Verse 2]

And tell me all about your man

How he's sweet and he's stable

And he's free with the love I did hide

And make me see how I was cruel

A weight on your shoulders

And he's lifted you up where you belong

[Chorus]

I play like a poor wounded angel

But I am a good-timing man

The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep

Is but a memory

And when you wake up in the morning

With that man at your table

Set perfect for a family of two

Oh please think not of me

But your new true love only

It's enough that I'm thinking of you

[Chorus]

I play like a poor wounded angel

But I am a good-timing man

The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep

Is but a memory

So here's to forgetting

[Chorus]

I play like a poor wounded angel

But I am a good-timing man

The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep

Is but a memory
