You'D Know That I'D Be Lying... Poem by david lessard

I will not keep you long,
The time, she is a'flying,
And if I wanted here to stay,
You'd know that I'd be lying.

Just want to say goodbye,
To all my kin and friends,
I'm going far away,
to where the river bends.

I travel fast and travel light,
You'll not miss me when I go,
We haven't hit off so well,
But you were nice to know.

Two ships passing in the night,
Going seperate ways,
One keeps going further,
Not much for lengthy stays.

I just wanted to see your smile,
and the beauty of your face,
just wanted to take, along with me,
some memories of this place.

I will not keep you long,
For time, she is a a'flying,
I'd ask you to come with me,
But you'd know that I'd be lying.
