"With Pen In Hand" lyrics

With Pen In Hand

With pen in hand
You signed your name
Today at five
I'll be on that train
And you'll be free
And I will be
Alone
So alone

If you think we can't find
The love we once knew
If you think I can make
Everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on
Your own
On your own

Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullies away

Can you teach him how
To whistle a tune
Can you tell him about
The man in the moon
If you can do these things
Then maybe he
Won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me

And tonight as you lay
In that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
And to hold me

And if you can forget
All the good times we had
If you can think
That the good times
Don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name
And I'll be on
My way
On my way
