Wasting Words Only for You

I'm sorry to have to tell you,
But I'm leaving on a boat today.
I could tell you that I love you,
But it's not something I have to say.
Don't cry for me, now
Water can't wash away those memories
I'm losing a little breath
So I can't say too many more of these words
You can stay for awhile, now
But don't let those young eyes cry again
Mine have seen more than you have known
More than I care to explain
More war, more children, more laughs
Only one thing you've seen firsthand
I could tell you more, child
But I'm afraid you might not understand
I can't tell you why it's difficult
To say these things I've known
These things I've felt and forced have torn
Right down to my bones
This day is no different
Because tomorrow might be here soon
And I've only got enough time to tell you
To dry up those tears one more time
I've explained all I can
So, stay as long as you like
But if you leave soon, remember
This is my last "goodnight"
I'm sorry to have to tell you
My boat is pulling out of the bay
I'm going to tell you I love you
But it's not something I have to say
