| This ache
|
| That follows you down
|
| from wherever you both came from
|
| Well it won’t leave
|
| Quietly
|
| It just waits here noisily with me
|
| I turn to go but quite instead
|
| It sinks it’s fangs into my head
|
| And gnaws upon me like a greedy bone
|
| The fragrant scent of parts unknown
|
| I try my best but it gets worse
|
| And fearful of this blessed curse
|
| The moon is full I feel my teeth
|
| My instincts give no sympathy for me
|
| All I want is to stay
|
| Here with you
|
| for at least a couple of minutes more
|
| In your front seat
|
| By any reason I can find
|
| My right foot still dangling out your door
|
| This ache
|
| That follows you down
|
| from wherever you both came from
|
| Well it won’t leave
|
| Quietly
|
| It just waits here noisily with me
|
| The pots and pans and bareassed bones
|
| Would have me feeling all alone
|
| But never fear the ache is there
|
| And calmly he pulls up a chair
|
| And through the night we play some hands
|
| While the ache he issues his demands
|
| Yeah the ache he issues his demands
|
| And I’m like Custer at his lemonade stand
|
| And all I have is this ache
|
| Just to see you again
|
| Though I’ve got no pretext to
|
| And hope
|
| Won’t quench my thirst this time
|
| Can’t you see that I’m aching for you
|
| I go to sleep when I awake
|
| In the kitchen is my ache
|
| He cooks me breakfast ties my shoes
|
| Puts in the time he pays my dues
|
| He sticks a needle in my eye
|
| And haunts me like some tragic lie
|
| Reminds me 'till I bend to break
|
| That I’ve been given the gift of…
|
| This ache
|
| That followed you down
|
| from wherever you both came from
|
| Well it won’t leave
|
| Quietly
|
| It just waits here noisily with me
|
| This ache
|
| That followed you down
|
| from wherever you both came from
|
| This ache
|
| That followed you down
|
| from wherever you both came from
|
| Well it won’t leave
|
| Quietly
|
| It just waits here noisily with me
