Crossing The Charles Lyrics - Small Fred

I guess it must say something 

That I was the last to know 

I never saw the signals flashing danger 

Falling out of love with me 

Was hard on you I know 

To wake up in the morning to a stranger. 

CHORUS: 

Crossing the Charles the water's shining 

And the sailboats running free 

On this dirty old river 

Winding down to the sea 

Hello to the rumbling city 

Goodbye to the windy sky 

Wonder when I'm gonna get over your leaving. 

Less than lovers, not quite friends 

Waiting for the wound to mend 

You still work your magic without trying 

Funny how many memories 

The shortest love can hold 

A sight, a sound, a word can leave me crying 

CHORUS 

I've thought it over and over again 

Looking for the one to blame 

Down a darkened street leading nowhere 

I've left behind the anger now 

I'm riding out the pain 

Still reaching out and wishing you would be there. 

CHORUS
