Now you’re back on my doorstep a cryin

Like I cried for all those lonely years

But I can’t dry your tears it’s been too long since love was here

And I’ve already gave you my better years

And so the pages of time kept right on turning

They never stopped for us to harvest the years

And old embers of love kept right on dying

For there was no one to dry my tears

But I’ll try not to blame you I’ll try not to shame you

All I can do now is wish you well

But if you should need a friend I’ll be there till the end

But don’t ask me to love you again

Chorus:

And don’t come back on my doorstep a cryin

Hoping for what’s been dead so long

For the embers have long turned to ashes

There’s nothing here but old memories and this song

No don’t come back on my doorstep a cryin

There’s nothing but old memories and this song
