“Miss Me” from Black Tuesdays August 2009

Miss Me

I felt like everything was changing
in the way we were moving
and since I don’t really care what people think of me no more
I jumped into the ruby cauldron
into the fires burning
and now I’m waiting for
the fool to take the cure
I wondered about the numbers on the fallen crosses
and then it came upon me
right there while you were sleeping sound

oh baby did you miss me
I never meant to leave you lonely
and did you wonder why we came this way
I don’t know of any reasons
I just know who I’m pleasing now
I’m just doing the best I can to make it home

here’s a little riddle for you
what do you break when you name it out loud
it’s cold as hell and stranger than it seems
down on the beat it was barren
I seen the light and I’m glad it came to me
it was on my way back home
from an Indiana town
I was feeling dizzy
a dream came to me like a pounding
I wondered where in the hell I’d been
and what did it mean to me now

oh baby did you miss me
I never meant to leave you lonely
I’m so sorry for all the pain I’ve caused
I never said it would be easy
and god knows the gasoline on it
just made it worse
when water was all I needed
truth be known
thank you for waiting so long
