The Sound of Me Missing You Now

from Toward Orange by Short Hand

/

lyrics

All the deals are done. The streets are lined with fun.
And you're traveling somewhere across the country.
All my human thoughts, all my hair cropped short,
All the jokes I'm sending through the atmosphere
To you my dear…
All on the bus, a boxer on a turnbuckle,
The sound of me missing you now…
Gets me down.
And who would have guessed, you'd dress yourself up in hydrogen
And bide your time mending children's woes?
Hey, little girl don't fuss,
There's no need to get shook up,
There's no need to mess your eyes up with tears…
Empty boat piers,
On a harbor in New York, a boxer on a turnbuckle,
The sound of me missing you now…
Gets me down.
And I am one of those guys who cries into my beer
And is missing you when you're not here.
And you can guess I'm rather sick and it is no coincidence - -
I'm sick and tired when you're not here.
I don't have to know your whole life,
I just want to love you.
