Wasting my time
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Wind in my hair
I could be most anywhere
But I do not care to know
Not where I stand
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
She said not to call
Said it would be best for all concerned
If I just all but disappear
But she loves you best
And I love her nonetheless
So I just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Maybe one day she'll call me up and say
"God damn you your baby's crying
and I'm lonely. Come home."
Maybe I'll find some guts someplace and drive up
And you'll be there playing on the porch and she'll just say
"Baby, where you been?
And ain't your little man growing?"
Pay me no mind
I'm just a shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and make it my home?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
You try sleeping, but
All that you hear is
The steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
wishing you'd never woke
The car I drive was built to last
It does not go particularly fast
I'm in no great hurry
Is that the cause or the effect of
The steady slowing down of my heart?
It's not that I got lazy
It's not about getting old
It's just that there's no miracle cure
For getting used to someone
Now, Jimmy spends a fortune
Because he's down to twice a week
His shrink says
A crisis in mid-life is only natural
Julie got a facelift
You know, she's only 33
Jesus...
May I give thanks for Brigitte Bardot?
Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
As I lie sleeping
Am I silent or do you hear
The steady slowing down of my heart?
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
wishing you'd never woke
Julie was aroused by Jimmy's lack of self esteem
Her shrink said
When a man takes a mistress, it's often helpful
Jimmy asked for help and she was happy to oblige
His shrink said
Guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
Wasting my time
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Wind in my hair
I could be most anywhere
But I do not care to know
Not where I stand
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
She said not to call
Said it would be best for all concerned
If I just all but disappear
But she loves you best
And I love her nonetheless
So I just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Maybe one day she'll call me up and say
"God damn you your baby's crying
and I'm lonely. Come home."
Maybe I'll find some guts someplace and drive up
And you'll be there playing on the porch and she'll just say
"Baby, where you been?
And ain't your little man growing?"
Pay me no mind
I'm just a shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and make it my home?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
I liked her a lot
Like lovers do
Julia came
Eating a tangerine
Friday the third
4.30
She tore out a page
Of my magazine
Then she went away
Like lovers do
Saturday girls
Kept me warm a while
Sunday sunshine
Kills all conversation
You look in her eyes
And you see circles
Then she lets you get away
Like lovers do
Everyday
Are you so sad to see me
And I'm so glad to take the blame
If it's always going to be that way
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
Now I'm looking at you
Like lovers do
