lyrics

In the morning's quiet hours

Or the evening's after glow

I've heard the jays and vireos

Telling me to go -

Sometimes I've packed for leaving

But my bag don't leave the floor

Cause I know you're with me somehow here

And you ain't beyond that door.


CHORUS:

Oh why, you ask me why

I just don't know -

It's so hard to move ahead

And just let go -

I understand the sun must set

And the river has to flow

But alone now in the darkness

How am I supposed to row?


It's funny how it happens

When someone's past this test
It's the unimportant moments

That we all remember best -

The way you'd say "I'm hungry"

As you passed your plate for more

And I know somehow you're with me here

Like you ain't beyond that door.


CHORUS.


Well the whiskey bottle's empty

And the ashtray's almost full

Outside I see your garden sitting

And I've got some weeds to pull -

It's a better job than sleeping

But you're the only one I'd do it for

Cause I know you're with me somehow here

But you ain't beyond that door.


CHORUS.
