Rod Stewart - Jo's Lament lyrics

don't think that I could come back

You're doin' so well without me girl

you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at

You knew me when it was all my world

Somehow it's all passed me by

But don't let on to my friends Jo dear

that things ain't turned out as planned

You bore my child then I left you aside

I don't expect you to forgive

But Jo I can say in a funny old way

I was sure that I had it made

I still possess a photograph

my memory to refresh

But fade it may Jo I can say

I was sure that I had it made

You bore my child then I left you aside

I don't expect you to forgive

But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid

to sleep alone for the rest of my days
