High and Dry

I know where I can’t go
Might I run into you
I know what I can’t say
And which words I’d like to take back, too
But you know that I can’t lie
Or try to deceive you
This time around
I’ll stay out of your view
I’m walking on a fault
A hard line drawn in the sand
One way I’ll lean and fall
No one to catch my hand
I feel the ground shaking
Underneath my feet
This time around
I’ll stay out of your reach
Cause you left me high and dry
Wondering why
Too many times
Late at night
I was lying in your arms
Then you deny
I was ever there at all
There was a time
I thought nothin but your name
This time around
Only memories remain
Cause you left me high and dry
Wondering why
Too many times

Wishbone

Wishbone
Out on my window to dry
Oh, I hope that I
See you again sometime
Holdin’ hope
I close my eyes and take hold
A firm grasp on my side
Of this Wishing bone
On my own
Calling a new place my home
Sun up and sun down
Out of my window
Strollin by
I see clasped hands and I sigh
Oh how long it has been
Since that was you and I
Oh, but I’ve wished on this bone before
And I know what hurt can be in store
Still there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To be standing in that doorway
Staring back at you
Wishbone
All I ask is one more day
Just to hear your laugh
Or how your voice says my name
Hear my plea
Have mercy on me
Or I’ll spend my days cryin’
On this Wishing bone
Oh, but I’ve wished on this bone before
And I know what hurt can be in store
Still there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To be standing in that doorway
Staring back at you
Wishbone
Out on my window to dry
Oh, I hope that I
See you again sometime
Holdin’ hope
I close my eyes and take hold
A firm grasp on my side
Of this Wishing bone
A firm grasp on my side
Of this Wishing bone

Little Company
03:15
|

Another one down
Another year older
Mosquito flies over and sits on my shoulder
But I don’t mind
I just let him be
It’s been so long I could use a little company
I’ll be charming and nothing but sunshine
Tell all my best jokes
And stories of past times
I lost my love
Or did he lose me?
Now it’s been so long I could use a little company
He gave me his heart outstretched
In the palm of his hand
And away I ran
Here I sit on this park bench
And watch the clouds dance
Every day I wake up like it might be my last chance
For sun on my skin
To hear a song in the wind
But it’s been so long I could use a little company

Rain is pouring down
And I’m flooded with thoughts of the good times
Only the good times
But if you see me in the moon
You don’t have to let me know
You can sit alone and know
I see you everywhere I go
I haven’t brought myself to take your pictures from the wall
Throw the flowers
All the flowers
Died long ago
Maybe it’s time I tuck your letter far away
Re-arrange my living space
Maybe I should really break away from you
Holding on to something for so long
Holding on to what’s already gone
Holding on to something for so long
Holding on to what’s already gone
Rain is pouring down
And I’m flooded with thoughts of the good times
Only the good times
But if you see me in the moon
You don’t have to let me know
You can sit alone and know
I see you everywhere I go

Month Of Sundays
04:00

Haven’t seen you in a month of Sundays
I keep to myself when I’m blue
Seems everywhere I go
Everyone I know
They’re all asking me about you
They’re asking me where have you gone
And why you’ve been gone so long
Here I just dried my eyes
Found a smile to hide behind
Trying to keep you off my mind
I tried to go to the parties
Drink and dance
Distracting my way through the blues
I see an old familiar face
But all I hear’s your name
And my heart breaks again
Cause I haven’t seen you in a month of Sundays
I keep to myself when I’m blue
Seems everywhere I go
Everyone I know
They’re all asking me about you
Still everywhere I go
Everyone I know
They’re all asking me about you

How many waltzes is too many waltzes?
I can’t get away from those sad songs these days
Lost in a daydream
From midnight to noon
Swaying soft with the moonshine
In the middle of June
Now I’m lonesome and pining
For that old love of mine and
I’m stuck in that old lonesome tune
My head has been spinning ever since the beginning
When you held me in three quarter time
The way that the wind blows
On the bay of San Francisco
Never fails to remind me of you
The seasons keep changing
And the time is re-arranging
Between me
Louisiana
And you
Here you can find me
Reaching always behind me
For the hand of a love I once knew
Long after we’ve parted crying blue and broken-hearted
On the shoulder of somebody new
Waltz me to heaven
Waltz me again
I’ve been dreaming
Of waltzing
With you till the end
But how many waltzes is too many waltzes?
And how many glasses of wine
Will get you to weeping
And prevent you from sleeping
And comfort you when you’ve been crying
How many teardrops is too many teardrops
When you’ve been out dancing all night
I’ve been standing alone
While the band still plays on, dear
I’ve been crying in three quarter time
Yeah I’m crying in three quarter time
