These are the words I have - written on a sheet that came with the LP.

In the darkness of the night
I sometimes wonder was I right
To leave you love, without a smile
Without a word, when all the while
It hurt inside to say goodbye
As you beg for another try
At loving me, And pleasing me

But though I tried to need you still
I fought a battle 'gainst your will
To tie me down and make me stay
To keep the hills and seas at bay
To make of me an only man
A loving but a lonely man
Meant just for you that's what you try to do

And now within an empty day
I feel an ache about the way
I left you and I said goodbye
In case we meet and want to try
Again my love to build a wall
To keep out ev'rything, but all our love could mean
Oh! What our love could mean.

So in the darkness of the night
I sometimes wonder was I right
To leave you love, without a smile
Without a word, when all the while
It hurt inside to say goodbye
As you begged for another try
At loving me and pleasing me.
