story behind the song: conversations overhead (yeah that's bad i know) and a blending of "gentlemen" (used loosely) that seemed to know when to cut their losses.
Lyrics
sun came up
out of the east again
went and woke my heart
nothing to do with love
i'm an acquaintance of false starts
sun went down
in the west again
went and put my mind at rest
nothing to do with now,
as today draws its last breath
i hear change in your voice
i hear change in your words
i know you said you have no choice
but it really doesn't hurt
it really doesn't hurt
i feel your weeping wind
i feel your tears on my heart
i know it's another we can be friends
but it's better that we part
and better we're apart
and there's even that see change
in the clothes you wear
and there's another see change
in what you've done with your hair
and there's been that see change
things i notice now and stare
yeah there's been a see change
you're more beautiful now than ever
i heard the change in your voice
the nuance in your tone
the signs you'd made your choice
so i'd already let you go
a long, a long time ago
a long, long time ago
