Left Behind Lyrics - Nothing But The Water - Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

Well he's gone to find his way again 

He said he's lost his only friend 

He's got a jar of cash to spend 

He's running off just like he done before 

And he made a stop down the track 

He sold his favorite leather hat 

He told the man he won't be back 

And rounded out an old unsettled score 

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind 

I'd cook his lunch and wash his clothes 

He'd tend the fence and shoot the crows 

And somewhere in there we got close 

They say a handy man is hard to find

He bought the farm, I sold my car 

He left me with a silver scar 

He's colder then a steel guitar 

He always said he ain't the loving kind 

But I said ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind 

Well some days I cry like a child 

Other days I ramble wild 

He's got me so goddamn beguiled 

And I don't even know his middle name 

And he's been lost and found before 

I've stopped waiting by the door 

But I still love him to the core 

I only wish that he could do the same 

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind 

Well he don't call and he don't write 

He slips on in after midnight 

I never turn off my porch light 

He always finds his way back my place 

Photos 

And I never ask him for a ring 

But he gave my this old song to sing 

And helped himself to everything 

And now I'm here without a speck of grace 

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind 

Left behind
