Finished the tapes, and wonder if anyone knows who did this one...English male singer:

When I returned later I couldn't believe you had gone, I got your number, but no one answered the phone, I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were, They said they thought that you were ill.

I hired a detective to try to find out where you are, He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France, A watchman saw you ??? in someone else's house, And drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way. You could have told me. I've waited for so long.

I try to forget you, but I find myself walking the streets, I went to the doctor, and he gave me something to sleep, I sent you telegrams, but you haven't answered one, Your mother told me I best leave you alone, I hope you're satisfied, now you've done this thing to me, I hope you're pleased with what you've done.

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way, You could have told me. I've waited for so long.

So long...I never realized exactly who you were, so long...I never realized the girl I had before, so long...I hope you're satisfied you won't deal with me again, so long...I hope you're pleased with what you've done.

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way. You should have told me. Not waited for so long.

Thanks again to everyone on the board!

The group was Fischer-Z and the song from 1980 was "So Long." Excellent, underrated band from the UK.
