I’m sitting here, at a half past six,
Way out somewhere in the sticks,
And it’s quiet now as the fog rolls in,
And it fades to grey till it’s clear again.
Been thinking on, all the ways I did you wrong,
(And I know that, it’s getting late)
In a different light does it all play out the same?
And you say people, they don’t change.
And I still like the way the sun, lights that horizon on fire (on fire),
And when the day is done, yeah honey I’m still a liar,
But I just called you to say…
That I was thinking about you today.
In the same old chair and to tell the truth,
Well I had some wine and some whiskey too,
And that tired cliché, is a funny phrase,
In a lonely hour that I washed away.
But it’s all I got, I’m just clinging to the thought,
That a loose tongue could have you swayed,
The only trouble is, every time I open my mouth,
It never comes out the right way.
No, it never comes out the right way.
And I still like the way the sun, lights that horizon on fire (on fire),
And when the day is done, yeah honey I’m still a liar,
And I just called you to say…
That I miss you.
For some reason I still do.
But I miss you.
And I don’t know why I do.
And I was thinking about you today.
