loudon wainwright iii – a year (live) lyrics
the only time i’ve seen you was about a year ago
i was afraid to hold you but i wanted you to know
i touched your tiny perfect hand before i went uptown
i didn’t pick you up because i’d have to put you down
for reasons that don’t make much sense and you won’t understand
i’ve stayed away for your first year, it’s sort of what i planned
but i’ve been in your neighborhood, sometimes just blocks away
i didn’t come to visit you because i couldn’t stay
there was a baby on a plane, maybe she was two
and she was smiling at me, i was not sure what to do
i’ve kept my distance from you, a year’s much more than a while
and so i looked away from her, too ashamed to smile
when i saw you last year i knew that there was no mistake
amazing things can happen, why just look what life can make
but life can get so hard sometimes, some feelings can’t be tamed
and people get so angry, frightened and ashamed
you’ve been a sort of secret for a year, i’ve told but few
although i’m sure that where you are so many must love you
and i’ve p-ssed by your window but haven’t dared look in
although i know i’d love you too, i’m too scared to begin
