Lately - Greg Brown

We closed that bar and we closed that town

The sun looked different coming up than it did going

Down

That was long ago — do you still love me or do you

Hate me?

I wouldn’t know — I haven’t seen you lately

We could have died dancing in each other’s arms

Or driving home close and warm out through the

Little farms

Or in the bed, holding on and shaking

But we did not — and where you been lately?

I can see your eyes, so dark and knowing

And I wonder where that distant train is going

If I found you, would you smile — would you take me?

I only know I miss you so much lately
