THE BACKGROUND
(Jenkins, Cadogan)
Everything is quiet,
Since you're not around,
And I live in the
numbness now.
In the background.
I do the
things we did before,
I walk Haight Street to
the store,
And they say where's that crazy
girl?
You don't get drunk on red wine,
And
light no more,
'Cause I don't see you
anymore,
Since the hospital,
But the plans I
make still have you in them,
Then you come
swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your
words like I always used to do,
The words
they use so lightly,
I only feel for you,
I
only know this cause I am,
Way back down,
In
the background.
Words they come and memories
all repeat,
I lift your head while,
They
change the hospital sheets,
I would never lie
to you,
No I would never lie to you,
I felt
you long after we were through.
And the plans
I make still have you in them,
Cause you come
swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your
words like I always used to do,
The words
they use so lightly,
I only feel for you,
I
only know this cause I am,
Way back down,
In
the background.
