Calling For You - Iris DeMent

Well, I woke up this morning without you

Don’t ask me how but I go t through

The floor of this room I’ve been pacing;

Trying to drown out the sound my heart is making:

It’s calling for you

Oh, we said: «It looks like we won’t make it

«You hurt me, I hurt you, and we can’t take it.»

So we fixed it, we thought, just by leaving

But the heart, it’s too wise for deceiving

It’s calling for you

You’ve had enough, I know I’ve had enough

And we don’t know what else now to do

We could both walk away but there’s too much at stake

You love me and I know I love you

I walked over and I opened the curtain

It’s pouring down rain and, now, I’m hurting

Well, the phone on the table is ringing

And I knew before I heard you speaking

You were calling for me

Oh, I woke up this morning without you

Don’t ask me how but I got through

The floor of this room, I was pacing;

Trying to drown out the sound my heart was making:

It was calling for you

Calling for you

Calling for you

Oh, oh, oh
