You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille (great lyrics)

[undeterred]

In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what ever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
This time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

3. Islands In the Stream

Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside there was something going on

you do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and i feel no pain ev'ry beat of my heart
We got something going on

Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication

All this love we feel needs no conversation

We ride it together uh huh
makin'love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is whatwe are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we re-ly on each other uh huh
From one lover to another uh huh

I can't live without you if the love is gone
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin sight of the real thing

but that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the messages is clear this could be the year
of the real thing

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never

We start and end as one in love forever
we can ride it together uh huh
makin'love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we re-ly on each other uh huh
From one lover to another uh huh
