robert francis,the night tide - i've been meaning to call lyrics

Loading...

early to rise
early to bed
that moment i’d risen and i shaved my head
doing so that morning began with a grin
i left behind my old fabled skin

it was middle of may
the seasons were bending
i with the seasons could predict no ending
lived in the moment
being as it were
the moment surrendered and led me to her
exchanging glances
our eyes by a thread
i tugged her right over by tilting my head

i followed her blind
to an old record store
while one of her friends found away through the door

in the dark we played records with everyone high
i hold her hands when the police drove by
she asked me about home if i missed it at all

i thought mama, oh mom, i’ve been meaning to call

the band went home
i stayed behind
i took the muskegon ferry from the milwaukee line
arrived at her door to clutch all her heart’s strings
we’re driving up north to forget everything

i followed her to the beaches
we slept on the dunes
i still see her eyes lit up by fragments of moons
not crescent nor full inside of the storm
she’d dive from the surface
each time changing form
but time kept insisting we both sink like rocks
time out of water resumed on the clocks
she slept while the second hand spun on the wall

i thought mama, oh mom, i’ve been meaning to call

i didn’t wanna lose her
i bought two tickets home
we left copper harbor scared to be alone
standing there watching our feet off the plane
each step she took further i was less the same

i was running from whomever i was at the time
i went running right into the middle of a crime
i was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime
just to come up for some air
i was climbing to climb
and i didn’t mean to hurt you when i turned on a dime
and just within a day you were well on your way

and i went to the river with all the sinners meet
watched the animals run from headlights in the street
i thought i’m all like the rest
i just wanna be impressed
you got to be above someone to watch them fall
emily i’ve been meaning
emily i’ve been meaning
emily i’ve been meaning to call
