about

An oldie but a goodie!

lyrics

I'm gone away I'm far away; I'm with someone else
And if you ever come to town you are not welcome at my house
But I might sneak down to your motel just to check your pulse
But if you ever come to town you are not welcome at my house

So don't you knock on my door with some tale of how you're sorry
I'm with someone else now who doesn't tell me stories

Your long-dead dogs, your Christmas trees, your family's twisted knot
I held my breath and waited to be neatly fitted in the plot
We had a car and credit cards and very little worries
But you kept me up all night long with you endless bedtime stories

You were always telling stories about your old friends on their Harleys
About your lost loves and their glories
You were always telling stories

We slept out in the lobby; We shook that chandelier
Well I don't think you liked my name because you always called me dear
So if I left you stranded there a million times I'm sorry
But I had to get away from you and all of your stories

You were always telling stories about the high seas and the prairies,
About the muses and the furies
You were always telling stories!

You told me that you needed me, dark starry night in Denver
But underneath the window shade I saw your other lover!
You left me in that tacky room with wine and Hail Marys
And I was praying to the spinning wall that you were not telling stories
But I'll tell you what:

Now sometimes late at night, the wind your voice it carries
And I put myself to sleep just listening to your stories.
