If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early Spring, is livin´ there, I hear
Say for me that I´m all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I´ve forgotten her, don´t tell her it isn´t so

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we´ve never been apart

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin´ free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won´t stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I´ve never gotten used to it, I´ve just learned to turn it off
Either I´m too sensitive or else I´m gettin´ soft

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she´s passin´ back this way, I´m not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she´s got the time
