about

A new song, seemingly archaic in style in it's verses yet brought closer to the present day by the use of a phrase like Baby don't go. This nuance in dialect, if you will, gives the song's message a timeless feel.
The Age old formula of " man loves woman, man screws up,man loses woman and leads a lonely meaningless existence,deeply regretting his foolishness forever" is to the fore in this story. Joni Mitchell sang "don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone". She was right.
The backstory detailing the man's actions we'll leave up to one's imagination and by that rationale one can choose to pity the protagonist's sad plight.....or not.

lyrics

When first he kissed her honey lips
And down she fell into his wishing well.
She wished she'd have him evermore
Alas! Be careful what you're wishing for.

Chorus
Baby don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go
I love you so,I love you don't you know?
Baby don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go
I love you so, I love you don't you know?
Don't you know?

Now anchors break and lovers drift
No more their branches will entwine
Now cracked and worn
They've come undone
What once was ours becomes just mine.

Chorus

Her tears now falling like the rain
He knows its time to count the cost
"I know I've caused you so much pain"
She turns away , now all is lost.

His fire is faded,his embers dim
And time has passed,It never waits
Through lonely years and seasons grim
He can still see her smile
And his heart still breaks.
