Old Music (Still Good Music): Fischer-Z - "So Long"...

I haven't felt this connected with a song and its lyrics for quite some time.

"So Long"


When I read your letter I couldn’t believe that you’d gone.
I dialed your number but no one answered your phone.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were.
They said that they thought that you were ill.

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else’s car,
and drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.

I’ve tried to forget you, but I found myself walking the streets.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
I’ve sent you telegrams, but you haven’t answered one.
Your mother told me, I best leave you all alone.
I hope you’re satisfied now you’ve done this thing to me.
I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.

Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.
For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were.
For so long, I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long, I hope you’re satisfied, you won’t hear from me again.
For so long, I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.
Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.
