Violent Femmes - I Saw You in The Crowd lyrics

rate me

I saw you in the crowd

I saw you singing out loud

The people were swaying

The band was playing

Something real loud

I couldn't hear one word

Screams were all that I heard

But I saw her face

I saw her eyes

I saw his grace

In the dark'ning skies

I saw you raise your hand

Stretching out to the band

You reach exceeding your grasp

On the beach from the whale

Comes one last gasp

Meet me in my hotel room

Meet me just for fun

And I will not be boring

Some things I been storing

Inside to show someone like you

A few friends just stopped by

I think they wanted to get high

But it wasn't you

Who they led me to

So I bid them all good-bye

I probably would forget

This episode of regret

So I wrote this song

So when you sing along

I hope my message you will get

Meet me in my hotel room

Ohmeet me just for fun

And you will not be boring

Something you been storing

Inside to show someone like me
