Blue Rodeo - Girl Of Mine lyrics

Girl of mine Where did we go wrong You never once said you loved me And you never once called my name Now I can see the way My memories like cigarettes Blow smoke upon the screen I stare up to the empty face That hangs inside my dreams In the words of love I hesitate They all come rushing in to me Too late too late Days and nights Wondering what could it be Did you need somebody stronger Someone to see you through Girl I never knew Now your lipstick and your powder They're all put away in drawers But the traces of our love affair Still hide behind the doors I lie awake afraid to sleep And see the face I knew I'd never keep I'd never keep Too much to bear Too much I fall down drunk Too much I care Tell me now Do the words of love still seem the same to you Now we learned the angry lesson And we still came back for more Forget somehow what came before My senses have been shocked And I'm alive to every pain Your quiet laughter comes to me It echoes in the rain In the darkness of my lonely room I pray that you won't fade Away too soon Too soon Too much to bear Too much I fall down drunk Too much I care
