(Tom T. Hall)

I said I'd leave you anytime I'm ready
Some April when all the land is wet
Some summer some fall or maybe winter
I'll go someday but I'm not ready yet.

I should have left the day your love was dying
I've passed up every day I ever set
I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready
I'm still around cause I'm not ready yet.

Well I've left a hundred times but you don't know that
Because I'm ashamed to tell how far I get
You didn't you don't you'll never love me
And someday I'll go but I'm not ready yet/

I should have left the day your love was dying
I've passed up every day I ever set
I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready
I'm still around cause I'm not ready yet...
