You Each Time

There you were day after day Six feet Twenty feet Two feet away Right in my pocket singin me a song Makin my heart race all day long And we talked it out and we talked it down But your eyes were not listening And my ears were looking around For another song to sing But it was you each time It was you The answer to each moment must be yes And the question: can you live with that? Becomes the test So you weigh it against that aching in your chest And that secretly relentless emptiness And you talk it out and you talk it down But your eyes are not listening And my ears are running around Looking for another song to sing But it is you each time It is you So my heart finally broke It was so long bent And it broke in three places When it finally went It wanted only to say what it meant So it suffered every punishment Now it lives in a shack outside of town And only the wolves are out there listening And in her dreams they chase her down Their moonlit eyes are glistening And it is you each time It is you
