With Pen in Hand

With pen in hand, you sign your name

Today at five, I'll be on that train

And you'll be free and I will be alone, so alone

If you think we can find the love we once knew

If you think I can make everything up to you

Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own, you'll be on your own

Can you take good care of Johnny?

Can you take him to school every day?

Can you teach him how to catch a fish

And keep all those bullies away? Hear what I say

Can you teach him how to whistle a tune?

Can you tell him about the man in the moon?

If you can do these things

Then maybe he won't miss me, maybe he won't miss me

And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed

Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head?

And with your heart on fire, will you have no desire

To kiss me and to hold me?

And if you can forget the good times we had

If you think that the good times don't outweigh the bad

Then sign your name and I'll be on my way, I'll be on my way
