Darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
And I'm writing you this letter
On the hotel's headed paper
And I guess I'll go and send it
Maybe sooner, maybe later
In the garden of remembrance
There's a blackbird singing sweetly
And I guess he's trying to tell me
That I fucked it up completely
But darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
But somehow you got left behind
Rambling through my one -track mind
And our breakfast did up nothing
more than restless agitation
So I packed up my belongings and I
Overhead the pilots were a
-cracklin' and a -hummin'
It's as if they're trying to tell me
that they saw this sucker coming
But darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
But somehow you got left behind
Rammed into my one track mind
Darling, I never meant to let you down
I always meant to be around
There ain't no turnin' back
So tie me to the sleepers on the old
