another song for you, another lovesick tune
another empty beat
the chords are ringing true, the lyrics flowing through
down an empty street
like a beggar i stumble alone down this
broken dreary life
then like clockwork it's you once again
come to shine and be the light
so bright

you wipe away the tears, you calm my foolish fears
you offer hope and love
i fail to find a way, endearing words to say
that this just isn't enough
you say "that's all," you're off, on your way
off to live your separate life
and when you're gone i beg you to stay
because i need you through the night
i'm lonesome with fright

someday i'll find those words that elude me
someday i know that i'll get things right
someday i'll set things as they should be
someday i won't be alone in the night

i feel i'm stuck inside, i'm trapped within my mind
i can't connect to you
i curse the painted walls, i pace the empty halls
but there's no breaking through
i ramble on about such foolish words
as "love" and "hope"
but i can see you fading away
at the cut end of my rope

you're so extraordinary, nothing ordinary
yer mind is blissed
so sharp, so literary, massive coronary
if i made the list
do anything to get to you
steal a car, a bus, a plane
it just makes sense, yet i feel the fool
when your look drives me insane
it's given me pain

someday i'll find those words that elude me
someday i know that i'll get things right
someday i'll set things as they should be
someday i won't be alone in the night

someday i know that your love will find me
someday we'll paint camp tamarack red
someday you'll smile just as i say "finally!"
someday i'll have you before i'm dead

and i don't think that you're hoping i die soon...

and thus ends another song for you
