George - Parkville

George you know I’m standing here

It’s cold and there’s a shadow by your windowpane

I can’t believe it’s been a year since you got up to leave

George these months pass like stone

Glaciers only frozen by your icy words in those last weeks

I’m trying to fix the puzzle piece

How you slipped away seemed to slip my gaze

There was music in the sound of my name

Something 'bout the wind tonight

Is coarse enough to shiver me to dust

I must be crazy now to think that we could work it out

And I’m only mad in love

George there must be something you know of

That can relieve me of this shame

George won’t you please let me in

I’m knocking loud enough to break this door in on her chest

It must be killing her to know your best

George you said you needed time

I’ve counted days till you’d be ready to start again

Our story was to find a happy end

How I missed the signs

I kept a vulture’s gaze upon your feet

You just slipped away

The music faded out from me

Something 'bout the wind tonight

Is coarse enough to shiver me to dust

I must be crazy now to think that we could work it out

And I’m only mad in love

George there must be something you know of

That can relieve me of this shame

George I’m not quite here tonight

The gin ran out and I’m just so alone

You promised you’d always be waiting by the phone

George I’m oh so cold out here

Your car is pulling in and I’m ashamed

At least when you arrive

You’ll hold my body close
