Linda Ronstadt - A Number and a Name lyrics

written by Steve Gillette and T Campbell How many times have I read farewell lines In the things that you never seemed to say How many times have I read those last lines And wondered why it ended this way Words of goodbye and all those loving lines I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame That the number and the name Both have changed with the pa**ing of time How you would write about the bright lights And your words always clouded up my eyes How you would write about the bright lights It's a wonder that I never realized Our race was run now another's just begun I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame That the number and the name Both have changed with the pa**ing of time When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they came in the flood of memories When your letters stopped the tears that I fought How they ran like the rivers to the seas Each sunny day you slip further away I must have been blind And it seems to me a shame That the number and the name Both have changed with the pa**ing of time
