That'll Be Me Lyrics - Kelly Willis

[ with Kevin Welch ] 

Sometimes in the middle of the night I reach for you in my dreams 

Then I lay awake till the morning light tired of remembering 

The river runs wide here the river runs deep I'd give that river my soul to keep 

If I could only finally sleep awhile 

That'll be me howlin' in the wind 

Every time I come across your tracks again 

Tell me how long has it been since I've been free 

If you see a fire on the mountain side 

All around the places I used to hide 

That'll be me that'll be me 

[ mandolin ] 

You and I we're gypsy born under the same old sign 

If my tears for you are a thunderstorm my love is the sweet sunshine 

You can't run far enough to ever quite outrun my love 

I know who you're thinking of tonight 

That'll be me walkin' through your mind 

Talkin' to your heart most all the time 

Stirring up memories of mine like a gentle breeze 

If you hear somebody singin' you this song 

Like they could sing it to you all night long 

That'll be me that'll be me 

[ steel ] 

That'll be me howlin' in the wind 

Every time I come across your tracks again 

Tell me how long has it been since I've been free 

If you hear somebody singin' you this song 

Like they could sing it to you all night long 

That'll be me that'll be me 

That'll be me that'll be me
