George

George you know I'm standing here
It's cold and there's a shadow by your windowpane
I can't believe it's been a year since you got up to leave

George these months pass like stone
Glaciers only frozen by your icy words in those last weeks
I'm trying to fix the puzzle piece

How you slipped away seemed to slip my gaze
There was music in the sound of my name

Something 'bout the wind tonight
Is coarse enough to shiver me to dust
I must be crazy now to think that we could work it out
And I'm only mad in love
George there must be something you know of
That can relieve me of this shame

George won't you please let me in
I'm knocking loud enough to break this door in on her chest
It must be killing her to know your best

George you said you needed time
I've counted days till you'd be ready to start again
Our story was to find a happy end

How I missed the signs
I kept a vulture's gaze upon your feet
You just slipped away
The music faded out from me

Something 'bout the wind tonight
Is coarse enough to shiver me to dust
I must be crazy now to think that we could work it out
And I'm only mad in love
George there must be something you know of
That can relieve me of this shame

George I'm not quite here tonight
The gin ran out and I'm just so alone
You promised you'd always be waiting by the phone

George I'm oh so cold out here
Your car is pulling in and I'm ashamed
At least when you arrive
You'll hold my body close
