Now don’t get accustomed to having me around,
For I’m only passing through.
I didn’t choose to be forever outward-bound.
It’s just what I always do.
I’ve never loved anybody near as much
As I love my liberty.
I never meant to make it hard for you to see.
Didn’t you know that about me?
There never was anything you could have done.
It’s simply the way things are.
I’m not the kind to give my heart to anyone.
I’ll let you in just so far.
I don’t like to promise what I can never give,
But this I can guarantee:
The day will come when I need to be free.
Didn’t you know that about me?
I can’t really say just when I’ll be moving on,
But I can say it will be soon.
It may be tomorrow at the breaking of the dawn,
Or it may be the next full moon.
And when I’m gone I hope that I can leave behind
At least one sweet memory.
But there’s some other place where I ought to be.
Didn’t you know that about me?
