DEL AMITRI - Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name lyrics

rate me

With the sweet drip of every raindrop

Time brings you closer to me

And with each new sign at every train-stop

Another hour without you is consigned to history

And with each tick of my alarm clock

I get crazy for the days to get to you

When I can hold you and kiss you and have you

Instead of staring at some photo like a fool

But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight

When I think that I might not make it through

But honey sometimes I just have to say your name

To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do

To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name

So this morning I picked up the paper

In the useless descent of the rain

While partners in heartbreak the whole world over

Lie and cheat just the same

And the headlines proclaim everything has changed

Love can't save you now

As each little motion of my writswatch

Holds up my faith somehow

But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight

When I think that I might not make it through

But honey sometimes I just have to say your name

To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do

To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name

When I've used up all my patience

When your letters have been read twenty times through

I can drink all the wine in this place of mine

But it ain't no replacement

It ain't no replacement for you
