Calling out your name I don't miss you at all? Re:


I can't stop myself
from calling
calling out
your name
i can't stop myself
from falling
falling back
again in the morning
baby
in the afternoon
i try to quit you
but i'm too weak
waking up without you i can hardly speak at all
my girlfriend tried to help me
get you off my mind
she tried a little tea and sympathy
to help me to unwind


funny how my favourite shirt smells
more like you than me
bitter traces left behind in stains no one can see
you're gonna put me in an early grave
i know i'm your slave whenever you call


there's a big hole that's gone right thru the sole of this old shoe
and the water on the ground ain't got no place else it found
so it's only got one thing left to do
creep on in and once it has begun
won't stop until it's done
sneaking in


there's a silver moon that came just a little soon for me to bare
shines brightly on my bed and the shadows overhead won't let me sleep
won't let me sleep as long as they're there
and that ain't nothing new
so long as you're around and got no place else you've found
there's only one thing left to do
creep on in and once you have begun
don't stop until you're done
sneaking in


the current is strong from what i've heard
it'll whisk you down the stream
but i never seem to have the time
so my toes just touch the water
daydreamed on the bank again i was swimming with the fish
and i thought this time that i may be true
but my toes just touched the water


walked a mile just to find the edge some place low enough to step right in
now i'm here and i can't begin to move
that spoiled sun over there always has to have its way and i know that
the river's there to shelter me but my toes just touch the water


went out on a limb
gone too far
broken down at the side of the road
stranded at the outskirts
and sun's creeping up


baby's in the backseat still fast asleep dreaming of better days
i don't want to call you but you're all i have to turn to
what do you say when it's all gone away?
baby i don't mean to hurt you
truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart no matter how hard you resist it
it never rains when you want it


you humble me Lord
i'm on my knees empty
please forgive me


baby teresa got your eyes
i see you all the time
when she asks about her daddy i never know what to say
heard you kicked the bottle and helped to build the church


you carry an honest wage
is it true you have someone keeping you company?
what do you say when it's all gone away?
baby i didn't mean to hurt you


sunrise
looks like morning
in your eyes but the clocks held 9:15 for hours
couldn't tempt us if it tried coz the afternoon's already come and gone
and i said o to you surprise
surprise
couldn't find it in your eyes but i'm sure it's written all over my face
never something i could hide when i see we made it thru another day
then i say o to you and now the night will throw its cover down on me again
and if i'm right it's the only way to bring me back
o
to you


what am i to you tell me darlin' true
to me you are the sea vast as you can be and deep the shade of blue
when you're feeling low to whom else do you go?
i'd cry if you hurt i'd give you my last shirt because i love you so
now
if my sky should fall would you even call
i've opened up my heart
i never want to part i'm giving you the ball
when
i look in your eyes i can feel the butterflies
i'll love you when you're blue but tell me darling true
what
am i to you?


could you find a love in me?
would you carve me in a tree?
don't
fill my heart with lies
what
did you say?


i know i saw you singing but my ears won't stop ringing long enough to hear
those sweet words
what did you say?


end of the day the hour hand has spun and before the night is done
i just have to hear those sweet words spoken like a melody
all you love is a lost balloon rising up thru the afternoon
till it could fit on the head of a pin
come on in
did you have a hard time sleeping?
coz the moon was keeping me awake and all i know is i'm just glad to see you again


underground i'm waiting just below the crowded avenue
watchin' red lights fading out of view
oh
the air feels heavy
everything just passes by and i think that i'm a little shy
meet me outside above ground
i see you on your way
i'll be with you someday


drawing lines above my head but the fan keeps spinning over me
just my thoughts to keep me company
now i know i'm ready
pour the night into a glass
can i sip it slow and make it last?


the prettiest thing i ever did see was lightning from the top of a cloud
moving thru the dark a million miles an hour
with somewhere to be
so why does it seem like a picture
hanging up on someone else's wall


lately i haven't been myself at all
it's heavy on my mind
i'm dreaming again like i've always been and way down low i know
the prettiest thing i ever did see
was dusty as the handle on the door
rusty as a nail stuck in the pine floor
looks like home to me


as i sit and watch the snow fallin' down
i don't miss you at all
i hear children playin' laughin' so loud
i don't think of your smile
so if you never come to me you'll stay a distant memory
out my window i see lights going dark
your dark eyes don't haunt me


and then i wonder who i am without the warm touch of your hand
i don't miss you at all
