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.
