Mister Meadowlark - Artie Shaw

I don't know why We fell apart but I'm pretty sure It was the right thing I'm still awake From that night storm Still soaked in rain Still holding on too I lost my way I think we both did Lost in the hate Lost in my own hate Forced in the waves Down in the ocean Weightless in salt Wade through my own Hateless from fault Dressed to impress Thread torn away The thread you gave me I don't know why We fell apart but I'm still awake From that night storm

Wake up, wake up Your heart is heavier today Can you feel it? Keep your eyes wide For fear of being lead astray Oh it hurts, hurts to love you When you open your eyes wide You're not sleeping on the other side The light is gone and your heart is tired You're not sleeping on the other side Don't think, don't fight You're reminiscing us away By the minute Leave yesternight Obey the sound of yesterday Oh it hurts, hurts to love you Oh it hurts, hurts to love you When you open your eyes wide You're not sleeping on the other side The light is gone and your heart is tired You're not sleeping on the other side And don't you know You live a lie And don't you know You live a lie (live a lie) 'Cause in your sleep you started talking I lost my mind Up I'd love to wake you, I'd love to wake you up Up I'd love to wake you, I'd love to wake you up When you open your eyes wide You're not sleeping on the other side The light is gone and your heart is tired You're not sleeping on the other side And don't you know? (You live a lie) And don't you know? (You live a lie) Cause in your sleep you started talking I lost my mind And don't you know? (When you open your eyes wide) And don't you know? (You're not sleeping on the other side) Cause in your sleep you started talking (The light is gone and your heart is tired) I'd love to wake you, I'd love to wake you up

Damn I'm so much like my Mother Blinded by a tempting light Should have learned it from my Father But maybe you were clear Couldn't even see the Forest for the trees And maybe you were water Moving like a current That brought me to my knees I went in for a two Gave a full me to a half you Babe, at least I tried What did you do? What did you do? I went in for a new But you're in the old and overdue Babe, at least I tried What did you do? What did you do? What did you do? Saw her face there on the wire My heart dropped I didn't have you as a liar You sold me on your glitter In the light of winter Gold is ash and dust But I was a beginner Didn't even consider We wouldn't be us I went in for a two Gave a full me to a half you Babe, at least I tried What did you do? What did you do? I went in for a new But you're in the old and overdue Babe, at least I tried What did you do? What did you do? What did you do? Mmm What did you do? At least I tried What did you do? Maybe my desire Set us both on fire Burning only me Thank you for December Giving me the embers God they're bittersweet

The last goodbye, your demon eyes So you look away The fear inside, had magnetised You're falling, falling, falling The years to come, they left you numb So you look away You could have been somebody else You could have been somebody else But I see you, I see you for the first time I know this trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now You're laughing and breathing in the fake highs I still see the trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now A web of lies, I realised So you look at me The smokey eyes, united lies They falling, falling, falling You could have been somebody else, oh You could have been somebody else But I see you, I see you for the first time I know this trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now You're laughing and breathing in the fake highs I still see the trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now But I see you, I see you for the first time I know this trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now You're laughing and breathing in the fake highs I still see the trembling in your heartlines But I know, I know that you won't fight Won't fight, now

I often wonder What I'm like to be around Am I too quiet, too intense or too loud? Do I ask too many questions or sing too much? And are you comfortable when our hands touch? What's it like to love me? Is it, is it easy? I wanna know, I wanna know What's it like to be on the other side of this feeling? I wanna know, I wanna know I often wonder Will I repeat it all again? Who will I fall for this time and will they stay my friend? Will it go the distance? Will I take their name? Or will I love too much and mess it up again? What's it like to love me? Is it, is it easy? I wanna know, I wanna know What's it like to be on the other side of this feeling? I wanna know, I wanna know 'Cause if I'm gonna do this again, oh I need a friend To tell me when I'm losing myself, oh When I'm losing them Oh if I'm gonna do this again, oh I need a friend To tell me when I'm losing myself, oh When I'm losing them What's it like to love me? Is it, is it easy? I wanna know, I wanna know What's it like to be on the other side of this feeling? I wanna know, I wanna know
