Fell in love with a traveling girl
she hated getting old
but loved me for the stories
at least I think she loved me
for the stories I told
Fell in love with an old girl from home
we drank wiskey and sang songs until the morning
but she never smiled unless I asked her why
and on the night that we both left
neither said goodbye
So I fell in love like a tambourine man
I can't sing like Stephen Merritt
but I'll always hold your hand
and if I stay forever it may be out of spite
but I'll never say I love you
Met a girl and I dug her summer hair
the only time she saddened me
was when I didn't see her face for weeks
but no "if onlys" nothing more
and the night that I left town
held her close and kissed her dear
name my daughter Eleanor
So I fell in love like a tambourine man
I can't sing like Stephen Merritt
but I'll always hold your hand
and if I stay forever it may be out of spite
but I'll never say I love you
when I mean to say goodnight
