She left town known as Silver-wing 329
My tears hit the ground about half-past
By quarter-up, I thought my heart will burst apart
And all the hours the Vodka kept my glass
She said I'm a fool for letting her slip through my hands
And all the while she must've really known
That I have to prove to her I was a man
And I held on to my pride and let her go
ย
A letter came the other day, it smells so sweet
I guess she just can't stand being alone
I thought she probably wants me back, but I'll just later read
So I didn't open it at all
She called me a fool for letting her slip through my hands
But all of the while she must've really known
That I have to prove to her I was a man
So I held on to my pride and let her go
ย
Another letter came today it looked the same
But this one didn't smell like her perfume
But it held the invitation to her wedding day
So I guess she finally proves just who's the fool
Yes, I'm a fool for letting her slip through my hands
All of the while she must've really known
That while I have to prove to her I was a man
I held on to my pride and let her go
Now all I got is to cry when nights are cold
