Fred Eaglesmith - Crowds lyrics

rate me

You didn't disappear

You surely say goodbye

With your eyes full of tears

A heartache in your smile

I should have kept in touch

I don't know what I was thinking

But it got to be too much

And I sorta took to drinking

Darlin', you used to tell me

Don't throw too much away

And I realized that I had

One cold October day

So I look for you in crowds

In train stations and bus stops

On sidewalks in the middle of the night

When I go driving by

Little churchyards on Saturdays

I check to see if you might be the bride

Hope you're happy now

I still look for you in crowds

Do you remember Mrs. Randolph

She lived on Second Avenue

And when we'd go walking by

How she'd come running after you

Well, I saw her just the other day

Ran in to her by chance

She asked me how you were

As she took my hand

When I told had happened

Her eyes filled up with tears

And as she walked away

I wanted to call after her

I still look for you in crowds

In train stations and bus stops

On sidewalks in the middle of night

When I go driving by

Little churchyards on Saturdays

I check to see if you might be the bride

Hope you're happy now

I still look for you in crowds

If you're listening to this station

Maybe you're driving home

You got a kid in the back seat

Maybe you're all alone

My name is Simon Wright

My father was a preacher

My sister was your best friend

Your mother was a teacher

I ain't looking for nothing much

Just an old friend

So, darlin' if you're listening

Maybe you could just call in

But, I still look for you in crowds

In train stations and bus stops

On the sidewalks in the middle of the night

When I go driving by

Little churchyards on Saturdays

I check to see if you might be the bride

Hope you're happy now

'Cause I still look for you in crowds

I still look for you
