Joan Baez — Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer lyrics

(S. Wonder, S. Wright)

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in spring-time
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to show the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in sum-mer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay
