The Breeze / My Baby Cries - Bill Callahan

I’d like to touch you, but I’ve forgotten how

And said I didn’t need you, but look at me now

Sometime in the summer when we’re lying in the breeze

The breeze will kill me

I tried to follow the path that you’re on

Something in me is stubborn, I keep going wrong

If you can forgive me now, we’ll meet up in another land

When the breeze has killed me

Sometime in the summer when we’re lying in the grass

And the breeze, the breeze

Well my baby cries when he’s tired

My puppy howls with the moon

You can never be sure of the people that you know

They don’t want to show you their sadness

Yesterday I talked with my father

He said that we could never win

It’s so hard to tell where I end and my father begins

So if you see me passing by

Please hold me deep in your heart

And just remember I want to help you, I don’t want to hurt you

Just remember I want to help you, I don’t want to hurt you

So don’t tear it apart

Well my baby cries when he’s tired

My puppy howls with the moon
