Lover loves me, but he loves somebody new   Lover wants me to be his mother too   He don't recognize his luck until his luck is through      He's a nightingale, I'm an ugly dove   I don't wanna speak, said enough   No one can mend this human heart that's torn in two      In a moment's space he's gone   And my ship has run aground   And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken   When you leave me, lover, please leave me something.      You don't leave me diamonds, don't leave me jewels   You leave me silence, you leave me bruised   You leave me with the knowledge of the evil we do      But nothing could control the weather   And nothing could console my devils   And no one knows the manner in which he'll burn      In a moment's space he's gone   And my ship has run aground   And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken   When you leave me, lover, please leave me something      You wrapped me in the stained shroud of morning   And pulled the cord   You threw me through the stained-glass floor   You dropped me in the hole, whole lot of nothing      In a moment's space he's gone   And my ship has run aground   And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken   When you leave me, lover, please leave me something
