No Regrets

Emmylou Harris · Portraits [Warner] [1996]

(Tom Rush)



I know your leaving's too long overdue

For too long I've had nothing new to show you, goodbye

Dry eyes, I've watched your plain feet off west to the moon

It felt so strange to walk away alone.



No regrets, no tears, goodbye,

Don't want you back,

We'd only cry again

Say goodbye again.



The hours that were yours echoe like empty rooms

The toughts we used to share I now keep alone

I awoke last night and spoke to you not thinkin' you were gone

And it felt so strange to lie awake alone.



No regrets, no tears, goodbye

Don't want you back,

We'd only cry again

Say goodbye again.



--- Instrumental ---



Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day

Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghost away

Just beayond the darkest hour just behind the dawn

It feels so strange to leave my life alone.



No regrets, no tears, goodbye

Don't want you back,

We'd only cry again

Say goodbye again...
