No Regrets
I know your leaving is too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone.

No regrets, no tears goodbye
Don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again.

The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
Thoughts we used to share I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
It felt so strange to lie awake alone.

Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away
Just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the dawn
Still feels so strange to lead my life alone.

No regrets, no tears goodbye
Dont want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again.

Tom Rush

Many years ago Scott Walker did a great version of this song, but Bedford Falls do it even better. It's a melancholy song, but uplifting at the same time, and the lyrics are beautifully simple. Sometimes when Bedford Falls play it the whole pub joins in on the chorus.
