Rod Stewart Jo's Lament
I stayed away so long, Jo, don't think that I could come back. You're doin' so well without me girlie, you'd laugh if you'd know where I'm at. You knew me when it was all my world, somehow it's all passed me by, but don't let on to my friends Jo dear that things ain't turned out as planned. You bore my child, then I left you aside, I don't expect you to forgive, but Jo, I can say in a funny way, I was sure that I had it made. I still possess a photograph, my mem'ry to refresh. But fate it may Jo, I can say I was sure that I had it made. You bore my child, then I left you aside, I don't expect you to forgive. Now I'm not so young, and I'm so afraid to sleep alone for the rest of my days.
