I'll wait for you no longer
my legs have gotten stronger
and I'd rather stand alone
than follow where you've shown
I wish that I could keep you
your beauty is apparant and so true
your eyes they move my soul to weep,
your voice it makes my tired heart leap
but your mind it is so young
and you cannot hide behind your tongue
you give yourself away
and I know I cannot stay
One day so far on down the way
I will recall how we used to play
and I will smile upon these memories
knowing you as just another part of me
another sister lost and found
another lover come round and gone round
but you have changed my heart and mind
and you are such a sweet and gentle kind
perhaps it never was you, always was me
blinded by your beauty, I chose not to see
but now I surely know,
it is time for me to go
Goodbye little darling
so long girl, so long, so long,
farewell to you lovely,
forgive me as you hear this song.
Listening to Bob Marley, I began to write.
