Baby

Wasting my time

A shadow on the riverbank

Watching my reflection go to sea

Wind in my hair

I could be most anywhere

But I do not care to know

Not where I stand

Baby, i`ve been lost without you

Since I don`t have a place to call my home

Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?

Must I take what I can get and make it my own?

As long as I love my baby

I`m only lonely

She said not to call

Said it would be best for all concerned

If I just all but disappear

She loves you best

And I love her nonetheless

So I just listen to the voice on the machine, singing

Baby, i`ve been lost without you

Since I don`t have a place to call my home

Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?

Must I take what I can get and call it my own?

As long as I love my baby

I`m only lonely

Maybe one day she`ll call me up and say
