With the sweet drip of every raindrop
|
Time brings you closer to me
|
And with each new sign at every train-stop
|
Another hour without you is consigned to history
|
|
And with each tick of my alarm clock
|
I get crazy for the days to get to you
|
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
|
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
|
|
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
|
When I think that I might not make it through
|
|
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
|
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
|
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
|
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
|
|
So this morning I picked up the paper
|
In the useless descent of the rain
|
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
|
Lie and cheat just the same
|
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
|
Love can't save you now
|
As each little motion of my writswatch
|
Holds up my faith somehow
|
|
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
|
When I think that I might not make it through
|
|
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
|
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
|
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
|
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
|
|
When I've used up all my patience
|
When your letters have been read twenty times through
|
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
|
But it ain't no replacement
|
It ain't no replacement for you
|
