Every window in my hometown is empty And I really don't know why And the house you used to live in Is cold and fallen down, yeah
And I am tired and I'm weary And Lord, those gray skies bring me down And I came home for just one reason To find myself in this quiet town, yeah
And I keep thinkin'
Oh, I'm thinkin' time's been my teacher I don't want to leave you So please give me one more try I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me So please give me one more try
Oh, just give me one more try One more try I don't know where to go for one more try
All the days we spent together doing nothin' It all so seems so long ago I thought the world turned around without me, baby But I just didn't know
That I was wrong to go and leave you To go and leave your world behind But now time has been my teacher And now I finally found
I'm thinkin' time's been my teacher I don't want to leave you So please give me one more try I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me So please give me one more try
Just give me one more try One more try Oh, I don't know what to do
Time's been my teacher I don't want to leave you So please give me one more try I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me Please give me one more try (Repeat 2x)
Time's been my teacher I don't want to leave you So please give me one more try
