Daniel Johnston - Everlasting Love lyrics

I had a welcome mat But you never came around I left my light on But you were nowhere to be found I thought an afterthought That maybe I was forgotten You never asked me for my name But I wasn't even in the book Seems like a love that tried Somehow was on our side We fell in love so deeply An everlasting kind of love And love was on our side There was no place to hide It seemed to mean so much An everlasting kind of love Years ago, I was at your door Asking you for directions You said you loved another And I wasn't even mentioned As I play piano, I get this eerie feeling You were never really there I guess I must be dreaming Seems how I really tried But our love was denied Somehow it was a lie An everlasting kind of love Then you took me for a ride I was so hurt inside You smiled and then you cried An everlasting kind of love Mom and dad said I sure was lost Since all the time they're believing Just what is difference In my heart I'm always there How can you in the art room You said you had to go I took it out on a shopping cart Screaming in my mind, "It isn't so!" Guess that's the way it goes You seemed to love, I suppose But I was at the end of my rope An everlasting kind of love I can't tell you how I loved With shining stars above With no ill thoughts about you An everlasting kind of love I took a walk, I was so in love But I had nowhere to go Everywhere I looked, I'd swear I saw you in every window Till I died inside from being all alone Your love carried me on I just kept on dreaming of your love Seems like a love that tried Somehow was on our side What could we have done to save An everlasting kind of love And love was on our side It seemed to mean so much Shouldn't have lost touch An everlasting kind of love Seems like a love that tried Somehow was on our side We fell in love so deeply An everlasting kind of love Seems like a love that tried Somehow was on our side What could we have done to save An everlasting kind of love
