Danny O'Keefe - On Discovering A Missing Person lyrics

O'Keefe Blonde hair on my pillow Lipstick on my shirt A woman's picture on the wall Of a memory that still hurts Stabs just like a knife That's been dulled from overuse I can faintly hear her laughter And the tone of her abuse It always brings you down To the same place in the end A woman leads you to the edge And you fall in love again I thought I was her partner When I heard the song begin I said, This dance is taken When someone else cut in I know I'm not much different From any other man We all believe in something We cannot understand Jealousy's a heavy price to pay But damn the cost Sometimes you don't know what you've found Until you're lost Don't know what it comes to Don't expect I ever will But the feelings that don't die inside Are the ones you cannot k** They'll always brings you down To the same place in the end A woman leads you to the edge And you fall in love again And if I've really lost her I'll start the search again Longing for Love's waters To wash me clean again Take me to that river I'm ready for the plunge there ain't been much water lately in my sponge
