Lovers
Mickey Newbury
Once they were Lovers
But now they're not friends
Hes found another
She says it's the end
To think they once tore down
A wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore
So he walks the streets
The few night he can stand
Drinkin' her memory away when he can
Friend's once would reach out
To them from the shore
But now they don't cry anymore
How does it all come to happen
That's not what lovin' is for
And if I thought it was
I would leave here in the mornin'
I'd sooner sleep on the floor
Oh, when will learn really
What loving is
It's not what you get in return
But what you give
To think they once tore down
A wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore
