The Milk Of Human Kindness

When you knew that I had given
All the kindness that I had
Did you think that it might be time to stop
When you knew that I was through
That I'd done all I could do
Did you really have to milk the final drop
Not content with my mistake
You behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all my friends back home
That I did it on my own
And that to their well-worn cares
They should cling
When you knew that I had given
All the kindness that I had
Did you feel you had to break
That lonely vow
When you knew that I was through
That I'd done all I could do
Did you really have to sow
That final plough
Not content with my mistake
You behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all my friends back home
That I did it on my own
And that to their well-worn cares
They should cling
