lyrics

SOMEBODY’S BEEN CALLING OUT MY NAME

Somebody’s been calling out my name
Calling to the crazy moths from deep inside the flame
Was it you, even though we’ve never even kissed
With that something in your voice I can’t resist
Calling me to come until I came

Somebody’s been calling me for years
Haunting me with melodies and singing in my ears
Was it you serenading softer, singing loud
Coming on as quiet as a cloud
Quiet as the rain of all my tears

Walking through a thousand places
Looking at a million faces
Til at last I saw you over there
Exactly where you oughta be
You shoulda been a mystery
Yet you knew exactly what to wear

Oh, somebody’s been calling in the night
Calling out so patiently until they got it right
Was it you, learning how to whistle in the dark
Far away and lonesome as a lark
Lost alone and looking for the light

Somebody’s been calling to my heart
Messin with the balance on my crazy applecart
Was it you, you beside me high upon the wall
Dancing there and daring me to fall
Even if I do and fall apart

Walking through a thousand places
Looking at a million faces
Til at last I saw you over there
Exactly where you oughta be
You shoulda been a mystery
Yet you knew exactly what to wear

Oh, somebody’s been calling out my name
Calling to the crazy moths from deep inside the flame
Was it you, holding out your heart within the glow
Calling me from centuries ago
Calling me to come until I came

Was it you, holding out your heart within the glow
Calling me from centuries ago
Calling me to come until I came
