Meanwhile Lyrics by Daniel Amos

Mr. Buechner’s Dream

2001

[Verse 1]
I told her
Things could not be better
Every day's red letter for me

[Verse 2]
I told her
My burdens are much lighter
And all the lights are brighter for me

[Chorus]
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again

[Verse 3]
I told her
"Don't worry any longer
'Cause faith is getting stronger in me"

[Verse 4]
I told her
All the things I'm learning
How the tide is turning for me

[Chorus]
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again

[Bridge]
Meanwhile, I'm feeling like a ghost on the edge of night
Restless for a home I can glimpse in the fading light
Craving for something I can never quite get right
Being only inches away
Meanwhile, I pass through the crowd on the boulevard
Turn a deaf ear to every laugh that is coming hard
Add another pile to the trash in the junkyard
While keeping all the waking dogs at bay

[Verse 1]
I told her
Things could not be better
Every day's red letter for me

[Chorus]
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again
Makes her so happy
So I'll lie again
