Time tells a lot. Sometimes things I never thought. would be said. And you just spilled a drop. Pretty soon you were in over your head. (chorus:). And I am waking confused in my room.
Strange as it seems, I don't want to leave. Crazy dream been living in my bones. When I've got no words to spare. gotta be love that will take me there.
I turn on the hallway light. I am up again at night. I've got my window seat. Got a light that shines down to the street. In the day I think I can. But at night I think again.
I come home, don't know where you are. You must be working pretty hard. I feed the cat half a can of food. and I sit at the table and wait for you. I don't like doubting that this old love will hold.
I went down to the city and I found myself a job. Working for the people who do need some helping out. But then in truth I found there was so little left to give.
I've got my grandmother's name, but she don't remember who I am. He can't sleep in the bed, 'cause every time she wakes him up:. "What time is it? What time?".
When I was with you, I thought I knew you so well. Now when I see you, it's like I can't tell. You from anybody on the street, it's so strange, the way I feel.
The church went down and it didn't go gently. The burning steeple fell right onto Main Street. The old stained glass exploded. Pieces of Jesus at my feet.
I woke up at 5 o'clock and I couldn't get back to sleep. I kept myself from calling you by watching the TV. But all the faces that I saw they just turned into this.
Watch me at the window from your place on the couch. You watch me pretending that I am really looking out. You say, "Come here, I can't see you in this light".
My mother cleans Elvis' house. Yeah, she and everybody else. . Who moved to Memphis for the King. She used to work at the Motel 6. Now she gets free guitar picks.
I knew that I loved you. The first time you got into my car. Your cheeks were flushed. And I felt a hush come over me in the dark. . I got us lost but at the next cross.
I come home, don't know where you are. You must be working pretty hard. I feed the cat half a can of food. And I sit at the table and I wait for you. .
She runs right out to the very edge. Then takes a step back to clear her head. She got married at twenty one. After thirty years, it's hard to jump, it's hard to jump.
He's got an old chair, it's got no seat. Cracked snow shoes and warped wooden skis. Hard-covered books, pages all turned brown. My dad has a reason for everything he keeps around.
I had a bicycle named Heaven and I painted it blue. When I lived next to you. You would come knocking every afternoon. Want to take it out, spinning with you.
My mind is racing and my feet are moving slow. Look all around me dont see anything I know. Id like to answer you but I cant clarify. If Im a 100 miles ahead or a 100 miles behind?.
