I
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?
Have I gone crazy, wishing you would
Come around the next corner, step off of that train
Your old black umbrella, faced half in the rain
God, I'm missing you
Your every curl rosebud, entranced in my eye
Each turned-up coat collar, and your gaze slides by
The sand of down blue, in a tar paper sky
God, I'm missing you
The night's down to nothing, the stars have withdrawn
The horizon splits open, that silvery dawn
And the ghost of you breathing, won't leave me alone
God, I'm missing you
Are you gone forever, are you gone for good?
Have I gone crazy, just wishing you would
Come around the next corner, step off of that train
Your old black umbrella, faced half in the rain
God, I'm missing you
God, I'm missing you
God, I'm missing you
