When You Leave Ella Hunt

Verse 1:
You left for camp
You left for school
Left for the coast when that was cool
You left women
One, a wife
To save your skin
You wrecked a life
When there's kids, it's not just one
Life you wreck
You're on the run
You go to town to start anew
But, those you left come after you

Chorus:
It's what you think
(What you think)
How you feel
(How you feel)
Though who can say if it's all real?

Verse 2:
The darndest thing is kids grow up
Some day some strange adults show up
The ones you left arrive in town
"That's nice" you say
"They'll bе around"
Perhaps they're just a bit bеreft
But they'll forgive the one who left
Sad stories can have happy ends
Perhaps now you can just be friends
