Babies Lyrics - She Likes The Weather - Counting Crows

After you're gone, babies 

ride the soft machine 

threading the warm children 

down the space between 

into a slow heaven 

hanging by a thread 

leaving the still living 

for the walking dead 

It took so long 

to find my way out of here 

out of the warm night, to the hard light 

shivering with fear 

After you're gone, babies 

crawling on the world 

touching the souls of all the lonely 

carefree boys and girls 

daddy needs you 

mamma feeds you 

and they come until they go 

but if I'm lonely, I'm the only one who knows 

It took so long 

to find my way out of here 

out of the warm night, to the hard light 

shivering with fear 

after the slow lonely waiting 

I'm all alone, alone and free 

If you see me, please believe me 

I wannna be 

After you're gone, babies 

screaming at the rain 

hanging a slow heaven 

in the wind again 

She's been waiting 

270 days 

sick of waiting 

when you see me 

please believe me 

I'm the only one who cares at all 

[chorus] 

After the slow lonely heaven 

I'm all alone, alone and free 

if you see me 

please believe me 

I wanna be 

After you're gone...
