Jim Cuddy - Banks of the 49 lyrics

Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how you're doing It's been a long time since we spoke Last time I was there you had music in the air We listened till the stereo broke I told you I believed you it's not really true I only want to see you come alive Winter's come and gone and there's flowers on the lawn I miss you coming up my drive You'd tell me different if I ever lost my way You'd tell me different if I needed somewhere to stay You'd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could And you'd always be careful and kind If you want to know what's on my mind Let me be some help to you this time If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain If you want to know what's on my mind Come on up and see me I've been waiting for you all this time Up here the days last forever it seems The sunlight caresses your face You can hear the dogs howling at night You'll think you're in the holiest place I've always played it careful now maybe I was wrong I think of you as fragile and young I have seen the darkness come over your face Felt the poison of your tongue You'd tell me different if I tried to hide away You'd tell me different if you had something to say You'd tell me all the things I needed to hear and never could And you'd always be careful and kind If you want to know what's on my mind Let me be some help to you this time If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain If you want to know what's on my mind Come on up and see me I've been waiting for you all this time Lately there's something disturbing my sleep I dream about you almost every night You're alone in your place and there's a look on your face I don't know if it is anger or fright All that I can tell you is I'm waiting to hear You know that I am faithful to a flaw When you change your mind and you step outside Hope I'll be the one you call If you want to know what's on my mind Let me be some help to you this time If you want to wake up in the morning and throw roses in the rain Cry yourself to sleep at night and practice your pain If you want to know what's on my mind Look over your shoulder I won't be far behind Come on up and see me on the banks of the 49
