By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Cæcilie Norby

He′ll be rising
He'll find the note
I left a hanging on his door

He laughs when he reads the part
That says I′m leaving
'Cause I left, I left that man
So many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
He'll be working
He′ll probably stop at lunch
Just to give me a call


But he′ll just hear that phone ringing
Off that wall
That's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
He′ll be sleeping
He'll turn softly
And he′ll call my name out low

And he'll just cry to think
That I would really leave him
Though time and time and time again
I′d try to tell him so
He just didn't know, I would really go
