Middle Names
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I pretend when I look in your eyes
Don't know where you're going
Don't come back, please come back tonight
Just about the only thing left is a lie
I wonder where you are
Then I wonder
But I won't wonder anymore
And I can see you now
Sitting there in front of the station
Feel the rain fall down again
I'd love to be there now
But I'm heading in the other direction
Feel the rain fall
Feel the rain fall
Why is the moon so bright?
Why are you so nice?
See you alone at the Walgreens at night
I used to think that you'd always return
To your woman-in-waiting
My love belongs to no one
And just about the only thing left is a lie
I wonder where you are
Then I wonder again
And I can see you now
Sitting there in front of the station
Feel the rain fall down again
