Marshall Crenshaw - Calling Out For Love (At Crying Time) lyrics

rate me

(M. Crenshaw, D. Dixon)

She was kicking down the fence trying to hide the evidence

that would give her game away

but everything was as clear as day

I knew she had no more to give, she hated everything she did

and I could feel her restless mind

calling out for love at crying time

All those days that seemed like years

the silence roaring in our ears

then at night a ticking sound

the timebomb of the life we'd found

I watched her leave, my heart in flames

fanned by all her other lovers' names

and I could feel my restless mind

calling out for love at crying time

Whisky, wine and cheap perfume; all those crowded bars

and hotel rooms

Exotic rhythms to embrace

but everywhere is a lonely place

so down and down and down I go

but where I'm going, well I sure don't know

But I can feel my restless mind

calling out for love at crying time
