| 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 |
