Baby

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
