Luyện nghe bài hát If I'd Only Come and Gone

(Shel Silverstein)

If I'd only and gone
The way I've always done with summer girls
Shared one with you and never reached for more
Then we wouldn't face long and painful righting of the wrong
If I'd come and gone

If I hadn't stayed so
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your
Tracked no footprints 'cross polished hardwood floor
If I'd have you in your doorway smilin' drowsily at the dawn
If I'd come and gone

Then I'd be on a silver plane dippin' into Denver
Or a schooner down The Biscayne Bay
You'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd
'Stead of lyin' here me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of new day

If only stopped to read
Cold hard I carved on other bedroom walls
And heard the mornin' truths I told 'em all
I'd be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
You'd never have me if I'd just come and gone

If I'd only come and
If I'd only and gone
If I'd come and gone
