I'm Not Ready Yet by Tom T. Hall

I said i'd leave you anytime i'm ready
Some april when all the land is wet
Some summer, some fall, or maybe winter
I'll go someday, but i'm not ready yet

I should've left the day your love was dyin'
I passed up every date i ever set
I know i'll leave you when my heart is ready
I'm still around, 'cause i'm not ready yet

Well, i've left a hundred times, but you don't know that
Because i'm ashamed to tell how far i get
You didn't, you don't, you'll never love me
And someday i'll go, but i'm not ready yet

I should've left the day your love was dyin'
I passed up every date i ever set
I know i'll leave you when my heart is ready
I'm still around, 'cause i'm not ready yet
