I Wish I Could Have Heard It From You

from Straight Up by Dusty Woods

about

She's already moved on and he didn't even know they'd broken up. Slow, sad ballad with a quintessential country weeper vocal and lots of twang. This song was featured in the short film, "Live at Five".

lyrics

You could have told me it was over
It seems like the kindest thing to do
I guess now I know you no longer love me
But I wish I could have heard it from you.

I tried my very best to make you happy
I never thought your love would prove untrue
They all tried to tell me that you had found another
But I wish I could have heard it from you.

Bridge
You say you didn't have the heart to hurt me
Well darling, I've heard that line before
Now that you're gone, I guess I should be happy -
At least now, you won't leave me any more.

I'll try to pretend my heart's not lonely
While you walk away with someone new
No one will ever tell, though I wish you well,
I wish I could have heard it from you
I wish I could have heard it from you.

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
