When She Left Me

It was a long and lonely summer
When my sweetheart said goodbye
I told that girl I loved her 
But a free bird has to fly

There was the pouring rain
On Lake Pontchartrain
It was a hurricane
When she left me, when she left me

She is a force of nature
She’s gravity, she’s pulling me
In
She is a force of nature
She’s calamity, she’s doing me
In

It was a slow foreboding Autumn 
When I knew it meant goodbye.
That was the first time I saw them
She was was with that other guy

It was a blowing gale
In Fort Lauderdale 
It was spitting rain and hail
When she left me, when she left me

She is a force of nature
She’s gravity, she’s pulling me
In
She is a force of nature
She’s calamity, she’s doing me
In

It was a cold and bitter winter
And a teardrop froze to my eye
I knew I could never be with her 
Love was lost to the bye and bye

It was the driving snow
Where the north winds blow 
Up in the Poconos
When she left me, when she left me

She is a force of nature
She’s gravity, she’s pulling me
In
She is a force of nature
She’s calamity, she’s doing me
In

It was a warm and shiny springtime 
She knew soon it would be July
But I didn’t fall for it this time
All I said to her was good bye

It was a sunny day
In the month of May
She said namaste
When she left me

Bridge
Left me be
Finally 
Set me free
When she left me be

She is a force of nature
She’s gravity, she’s pulling me
In
She is a force of nature
She’s calamity, she’s doing me
In

She is a force of nature
She’s gravity, she’s pulling me
In
She is a force of nature
She’s calamity, she’s doing me
In
