Текст песни You Seldom Come to See Me Anymore - Johnny McEvoy

What's your hurry, can't you stay and pass an hour away?
And we'll sit and dream awhile by candlelight
For when the long day's over, that's the time I fear the most
When I hear your footsteps fade into the night

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye
And I've seen it there a hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me and it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come to see me any more

I well recall that day when my ship it sailed away
To a far off distant land across the sea
Where a cruel war was raging, where time was standing still
And blind hatred was the order of the day

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye
And I've seen it there a hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me and it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come to see me any more

I know it can't be fair for a soldier's wife to hear
How he helped to keep his country proud and free
And no brass nor fancy ribbons can ever ease the pain
When he comes back half the man he used to be

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye
And I've seen it there a hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me and it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come to see me any more
You seldom come to see me any more
