From the recording Brand New Shoes
Lyrics
Well, I worry about the little guy who sits inside my chest at night
And wonders if you’ll be back soon, his restless worries from night ‘til noon.
And when the phone rings he jumps up to see if you are calling up
But I can’t stand to see it when his disappointed face, again,
Comes to me for answers why, and I just lay my head down and I
Chorus:
Cry, I cry. Sometimes the only thing that you can do is
Cry, I cry, and I wonder why she had to say goodbye, I
Cry, cry, cry.
Well, I assure him nothing’s wrong; it’s normal she’s been gone this long
‘Cause if he knew he’d probably die; I always answer with a lie.
But when the sun comes up tomorrow she’ll still be gone away
Sweet sorrow, go away and don’t come back ‘cause I can’t stand the heart attack.
When he comes for answers why, and I just lay my head down and I
Chorus
And in my mind I know it’s true, but I can’t stand to tell it to my heart.
If only we could go back when love’s embers were still burning then
And make a brand new start.
Well, I worry about the little guy who sits inside my chest at night
And wonders if you’ll be back soon, his restless worries from night ‘til noon.
And I can’t stand to see it when his disappointed face, again,
Comes to me for answers why, and I just lay my head down and I
Chorus
