God I'm Missing You - Rodney Crowell, Mary Karr, Lucinda Williams

I heard a siren and you came to mind

You were the pretty part of us

I’m what’s left behind

The equation’s remainder

The last standing sign

God, I’m missing you

Your mouth’s still so soft

Your countenance fair

Time stretches to shape you

Right out of thin air

But it can’t hold the image

If I blink you’re not there

God, I’m missing you

Are you gone forever?

Are you gone for good?

Or have I gone crazy

Wishing you would?

Come around the next corner

Step off of that train

Your old black umbrella

Face half in the rain

God, I’m missing you

You’re every curled rose bud

Enchanting my eye

Each turned-up coat collar

And your gaze slides by

There’s a sanded-down moon

In a tarpaper sky

God, I’m missing you

The night’s down to nothing

The stars have withdrawn

The horizon splits open

That silvery dawn

But the ghost of your breathing

Won’t leave me alone

God, I’m missing you

Are you gone forever?

Are you gone for good?

Or have I gone crazy

Wishing you would?

Come around the next corner

Step off of that train

Your old black umbrella

Face half in the rain

God, I’m missing you

God, I’m missing you

God, I’m missing you

God, I’m missing you
