Everything is quiet, Since you're
not around,
And I live in the numbness now.
In the background.
I do the things we did before,
I walk Haight Street to the store,
And they say where's that crazy girl?
You don't get drunk on red wine, And light no more,
'Cause I don't see you anymore,
Since the hospital,
But the plans I make still have you in them,
Then you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used
to do,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you,
I only know this cause I am, Way back down,
In the background.
Words they come and memories all repeat,
I lift your head while, They change the hospital
sheets,
I would never lie to you, No
I would never lie to you, No
I felt you long after we were through.
And the plans I make still have you in them,
Cause you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used
to do,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you,
I only know this cause I am, Way back down,
In the background. |
