Lyrics |
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 make 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 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? A pain in my mind 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
