from the songs album Love Story
Wasting my time
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Wind in my hair
I could be most anywhere
But i do not care to know
Not where i stand
Baby, i`ve been lost without you
Since i don`t have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart?
Must i take what i can get and make it my own?
As long as i love my baby
I`m only lonely
She said not to call
Said it would be best for all concerned
If i just all but disappear
She loves you best
And i love her nonetheless
So i just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
Baby, i`ve been lost without you
Since i don`t have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart?
Must i take what i can get and call it my own?
As long as i love my baby
I`m only lonely
Maybe one day she`ll call me up and say
"god damn you your baby`s crying
And i`m lonely, come home"
Maybe i`ll find some guts someplace and drive up
And you`ll be there playing on the porch and she`ll
Just say
"baby, where you been?"
And "ain`t your little man growing?"
A pain in my mind
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Baby, i`ve been lost without you
Since i don`t have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart?
Must i take what i can get and make it my home?
As long as i love my baby
I`m only lonely
