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

(Shel Silverstein)

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

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

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

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

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