Only Wondering Where You Are

(Mark Erelli)

The sun goes down, the sun comes up

Black coffee fills a paper cup

Every morning it gets harder to remember

The days all seem to pass this way

Nothing much to do or say

A thousand shades of gray just like November

Once upon a time the time stood still

The moments they were ours to fill

Or drain just like a drunkard will a toast

Now I turn around and hope to see

You standing where you're supposed to be

Instead I find I'm followed by your ghost

CHORUS

I got this space inside I just can't seem to fill

Don't you know sometimes it seems I never will

I ain't wishing you could still be by my side

I'm only wondering where you are tonight

It never seems to rain unless it pours

And catches us both out of doors

In the storm it all just comes undone somehow

Still I thought we'd last until the end

No matter where we'd gone or been

If I'd only known back then what I know now

(CHORUS)

Old lovers have to say goodbye

As nightfall darkens in the sky

The tears we cry can't keep the world from spinning

But morning always comes again

As it will for you and I my friend

This is not the end it's only a new beginning
