    Lyrics »

He was tall, dark and homely.
She was dirt poor and lonely.
Told herself it would only
Be for awhile till somebody better came by.
But he stayed right beside her.
He was a decent provider.
He almost broke inside her
Vagabond heart, But the light never came to her eyes.

Ah, Layna, what is it you won't let me know?
Are you guarding a secret you've had from a long time ago?

Ah, Layna, why'd you go? (Try not to think of the gold in her eyes.)
Ah, Layna, why'd you go? (All her I-love-yous were time-sweetened lies.)
Ah. Layna, I'd hoped that you'd always be near.
But now that you're gone, I can see that you really weren't here.

She called him from Longview.
She said 'I'm sorry I wronged you.
But who do I belong to
Anymore? It ain't me. That woman's long gone.'
He said he'd come get her,
But she said it was better,
Just try and forget her,
And move on - then nothing but a cold dial tone.

Ah Layna, your memory's turned misty and grey.
Your love was like walking through fog on an overcast day.
