Paul Kelly - Sometimes My Baby lyrics

rate me

Sometimes my baby goes away

In the blink of an eye on an ordinary day

I’m right there beside there but all that lost

No way to reach her, no way to get across

Was it something I did, was it something I said?

She lies on the bed, with her face to the wall

Oh it’s breaking my heart, and it’s still in my head

To see her tumble and fall

Sometimes my baby takes a little trip

She gives me no warning, just kiss me to sleep

I hold her and I kiss her and whisper her name

But she’s somewhere else, I’m right out the frame

Oh, it’s nothing I’ve done, and it’s nothing I’ve said

Nothing to do with my love in at all

I wish I could take out the ...in her head

Like a stone in the pond she falls

I listen all night to the sounds of se

The tide inches out and the tide inches in

I follow the moon sinking down to the trees

Until she rise as a beam.
