Lyrics

I got the message, today, that you called me.
I hope everything is all right.
It's a little too early for that kind of drinking;
I'll probably call you tonight.
I know I'm not acting the way I'm supposed to,
Distracted by the whys and the whats.
But I'm fighting some battles and wrestling with
feelings,
Concerned with some things that I'm not.
Seems so long since the fall when you left for the
city.
Sometimes that thought gets me down.
And I spoke with Giles Boutier who saw you in
Paris;
You've surely been getting around.
I know that you're doing the all things that you
wanted,
All those things that you said you would do.
I know that you're happy, successful and smiling;
You'd want me to be that way too.
Yes, I'm still writing, but the words don't come
easy.
Sometimes it just wears me out.
I can't touch the essence cause I feel so distracted,
But it's nothing I too worried about.
I'm a little to pensive, withdrawn and reflective,
A little too drab and too gray.
I'm not always cordial when friends come to visit.
They hate to see me this way.
There's a mist on the ocean enshrouding the
island;
I feel so detached and alone.
I'm getting to know all the barflies in Murphy's;
It's beginning to feel just like home.
I thought this might happen that night last October
When you said you'd be going away.
I never intended to try to dissuade you,
So I never asked you to stay.
So I imagined the worst when I got your letter
Where you said that we needed to talk.
I know I can't change all the things that have happened;
It's probably nobody's fault.
Still I'd love to see you; I probably need to
Just to set everything right.
But it's a little too early for that kind of drinking;
I'll probably call you tonight.
Yes, it's a little too early for that kind of drinking.
Maybe I'll call you tonight.
