Todd Clouser: Music

I saw you in the morning in my sleep
My lips were shaking
You wouldn’t look my way at all
I watched the airplanes going on
I was drinking
I had to turn away
I must admit I will miss this bar
My guess is it won’t blink
You have a way of being understated
But when your time has come
I know you’d want your song to go on and on

I woke in red
Saw your legs on the counter
You hadn’t slept at all
Morning birds and sun and you’ve stayed awake for too long
This place is taking your heart
You talk of running but always stay in one place
In my way, I have tried
You have a way of being understated
But when your time has come
I know you’d want your song to go on and on

The flags are waving on Mississippi and Main
The bells are ready to play
You have a way of being understated
But when your time has come
I know you’d want your song to go and on


Bm A Bm G
Bm A G D/F#
There’s a candle burning with a heavy glow
I wish you’d speak what I already know
You got you so good at leaving yourself alone
Make nothing worth a tear
