Track 3 of 10 on the album "Old Loves Never Die" (1981) [Intro] C F C F C [Verse 1]
        C                           F
It's a lonely kind of living, never staying, never given

          C                                            G7
More than moments to remember as I'm passing through today

      C                               F
Satisfaction is in season but there's roads and other reasons

      C                                      G7            C
To be moving toward the morning when you'll find me gone away
[Chorus]
         G7                               F                 C
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you need a man

         F              C             G7
But it's nicer when I know you understand

         C                                F
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my fingers

        C                                G7          C
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my hands
[Interlude] C F C F [Verse 2]
    C                             F
I'm proud of being me and just as proud of being free

            C                                                    G7
And if that don't fit in your planning, better take me off your mind

             C                                  F
'cause the plans that I've been in have ways of coming to an end abruptly

C                                   G7                C
When the dreamer wakes to find I've gone on down the line
[Chorus]
         G7                               F                 C
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you need a man

         F              C             G7
But it's nicer when I know you understand

         C                                F
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my fingers

        C                                G7          C
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my hands
[Interlude] C F C F [Verse 3]
        C                                  F
There's roads and other reasons that will always lead to leaving

        C                                            G7
I won't bother you with details, it's a story all my own

          C                                F
And the things we've done together were so good that I would rather

        C                                 G7              C
Not say anything to change the way you'll feel after I'm gone
[Chorus]
         G7                               F                 C
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you need a man

         F              C             G7
But it's nicer when I know you understand

         C                                F
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my fingers

        C                                G7          C     F
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my hands
C G7 C
