Sad Love

Lawd, last night I heard you call my name 
And I knew I was dreaming just the same. 
Lawd, last night I heard you call my name 
And I knew I was dreaming just the same. 
Sometimes, I think I should have stayed. 

Just didn't know what you were thinkin' 
When you saw me walking out the door. 
Just didn't know what you were thinkin' 
When you saw me walking out the door. 
Well, I guess it don't matter anymore. 

I saw you sitting there by the railroad tracks. 
Didn't you have your face down in your hands? 
I saw you sitting there by the railroad tracks. 
Didn't you have your face down in your hands? 
It sure was a sad love that we had.
