Baby

歌詞

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 call 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 But 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?" Pay me no mind I'm just 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
