Lyrics God I'm Missing You - Rodney Crowell, Mary Karr, Lucinda Williams

God I'm Missing You

I heard a siren and you came to mind
You were the pretty part of us
I’m what’s left behind
The equation’s remainder
The last standing sign
God, I’m missing you
Your mouth’s still so soft
Your countenance fair
Time stretches to shape you
Right out of thin air
But it can’t hold the image
If I blink you’re not there
God, I’m missing you
Are you gone forever?
Are you gone for good?
Or have I gone crazy
Wishing you would?
Come around the next corner
Step off of that train
Your old black umbrella
Face half in the rain
God, I’m missing you
You’re every curled rose bud
Enchanting my eye
Each turned-up coat collar
And your gaze slides by
There’s a sanded-down moon
In a tarpaper sky
God, I’m missing you
The night’s down to nothing
The stars have withdrawn
The horizon splits open
That silvery dawn
But the ghost of your breathing
Won’t leave me alone
God, I’m missing you
Are you gone forever?
Are you gone for good?
Or have I gone crazy
Wishing you would?
Come around the next corner
Step off of that train
Your old black umbrella
Face half in the rain
God, I’m missing you
God, I’m missing you
God, I’m missing you
God, I’m missing you
