The lowering sun stretches shadows across the windy plain
I 'm thinking on the time that 's passed, how you never felt the same
When I said it 's hard to leave you said, it 's hard to watch you go
I shouldn't have believed you, but back then how could I know
I 'm trying hard not to love you
My heart don 't know that you don 't care at all
I say aloud that I do not need you
But I know I 'd come to you if you called
The moonlight down by the riverside must have played a trick upon my eyes
Cause I thought I saw forever with you, I could not realize
And I can 't stand to search this heart and find I still love you
And it hurts my pride to know I 'd take you back if you asked me to
Chorus
I 'm trying to get you off my mind
But your love 's a memory I can 't leave behind
