Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
To another town I'm bound, leaving the friends I found
To another's arms I'm bound, see you when I'm
Next time round

You borrowed my newness and lent it your sweetness
Stayed in my arms till the morning
We drank of the red wine, not heeding the time
Forgetting it soon would be ended

I'm heading down there and leaving you here
We both know there's nowhere we came from
We won't have to fuss about the long miles between us
Other arms can take you and me down

When I come again you won't have to explain
If you find you're not free to come fooling with me
Our kind of love is easy forgotten
It's a game played with time by the lonely

(as sung by Jean Redpath)
