Don't have time for a real introduction and I know my chances are slim
So while you're sittin' there and I'm standin' here why don't you just you call me Jim
I come from a place where there is no time to worry about what might have been
The here and now seems different somehow from the good old way back when
I recognize you as a girl I knew in the forest of my youth
You say you're doing well and you've been through hell, well ain't that the fuckin' truth
Let's talk a while, I'll tell you how I came to be so low
Down on my luck and high as a kite on the road to the next big show
But where it is, I don't know
CHORUS
Because I'm falling asleep, falling apart
Keeping you far away from my heart
'cause you don't want to know, you don't want to see
what a wreck this life can be
You sleep all day because you can't wake up from the dream stuck in your head
Those golden curls fall around your face and to the world you play dead
How I'd love to be the man for you and give you everything you need
But I'm down here in the valley of fear and you're way across the sea
And I wonder if you can hear me
CHORUS x2
