My Man Go - Two Gallants

My man go, my man come,

shake my love, leave me numb,

just enough to carry on.

I knew him once, so I thought

and what was then, now is not,

all the love is dead and gone.

Oh, where did I go wrong?

But in the ruins of my mind

I can still pretend.

Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.

My man breathe, my man eat,

I wake up and watch him sleep.

where went all those lovely days?

He always said he’d never make

the same mistakes his father made.

I guess some things you can’t escape

but I hope it’s not too late.

But in the ruins of my mind

I can still pretend.

Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.
