Call My Name


Bead of sweat runnin’ down my neck
I can wipe it away, but I feel it yet
Pulled the covers up tight and I
Didn’t hear you cryin’ when you called my name

I wanna give you a kiss you can really feel
I never meant to set you back on your heels
All we can do is try to see it through
Don’t let it phase your mind

Once upon a life, not so long ago
I showed you what I got, laid my heart low
On a patchwork quilt of leaves under an opalescent sky

I’m a wandering woman, I’m a tired light
I’m a soul second guessing out in the night
But baby we can change, and you know
I’m gonna hear you cryin’ when you call my name

Call my name
Tell me your worries
Call my name
Say it out loud
Call my name
When the world is upside down
I’ll still be around

Call my name
Tell me your worries
Call my name
Say it out loud
Call my name
When the world is upside down
I’ll still be around
