Lost In The Moment Lyrics - Edie Brickell

The register stood open, smoke cleared the room 

And one man was lying over blood and a broom 

The store door was swingin' in a midnight breeze 

And another man ran through the dark and the trees 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

You ran past the motel, threw his gun in the trash 

Looked down through the darkness and counted the cash 

The man at the store was trying to stand 

Looked up through the white light and reached out his hand 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

Are you there, can you hear me, are you there 

The ambulance arrived, but it was too late 

In the spin of the red lights, they covered his face 

He had a wife who was waiting, watching TV in bed 

Wondering why, he wasn't home yet 

Their baby was sleeping until the telephone rang 

He woke and he cried out, but nobody came 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

Lost in the moment of what he needs 

Are you there, can you hear me, are you there 

She doesn't know what they'll do now, now that he's gone 

Try to get over and try to get on 

Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon 

The tree that they planted has started to bloom 

She wanted him to see this, she wanted him there 

She wanted to kiss him and brush back his hair 

Lost in the moment of what she needs 

Lost in the moment of what she needs
