lyrics
WHEN YOU WERE DOWN.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2008.
Call me in the afternoon,
Call me from the other room,
If you want me…
You know I try and keep my mind,
On you all the time,
But sometimes it’s hard.
I wish you’d write to me,
And tell me you’re getting over
The time when you were down.
I wish you’d write to me,
At least I’d have your letters,
And they might turn this around.
Turn all this around.
In hospital all that time,
You never changed your mind,
Or your reason.
You said you woke up every night,
An actor without lines,
And no-one wants you.
And now you come to be,
One of the ones who stays afar,
One who REALLY sees.
No more long goodbyes,
No more tired mornings ,
Alone,
Alone,
Alone...
This one says she loves you,
Sometimes she don’t.
The more you need it,
I just don't.
Sometimes she loves you,
Sometimes she don't.
The more you need it,
I just don't.
