Sometimes My Baby Lyrics - Spring And Fall - Paul Kelly

Sometimes my baby goes away 

In the blink of an eye on an ordinary day 

I'm right there beside her but all at a loss 

No way to reach her, no way to get across 

Was it something I did? Was it something I said? 

She lies on the bed with her face to the wall 

Oh, it's breaking my heart and it's doing my head 

To see her tumble and fall 

Sometimes my baby takes a little trip 

She gives me no warning, just gives me the slip 

I hold her and kiss her and whisper her name 

But she's somewhere else, I'm right out of the frame 

Oh, it's nothing I've done and it's nothing I've said 

Nothing to do with my loving at all 

I wish I could take out the knives in her head 

Like a stone in a pond she falls

I listen all night to the sound of the sea 

The tide inches out and the tide inches in 

I follow the moon sinking down through the trees 

Until she rises again
