Calling for You Lyrics by Iris DeMent

My Life

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up this morning without you
Don't ask me how, but I got through
The floor of this room I've been pacing
Trying to drown out the sound my heart is making
It's calling for you

[Verse 2]
Oh, we said, "It looks like we won't make it"
"You hurt me, I hurt you, and we can't take it"
So we fixed it, we thought, just by leaving
But the heart, it's too wise for deceiving
It's calling for you

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
You've had enough, I know I've had enough
And we don't know what else now to do
We could both walk away, but there's too much at stake
You love me and I know I love you

[Verse 3]
I walked over and I opened the curtain
It's pouring down rain and, man, I'm hurtin'
Well, the phone on the table is ringing
And I knew before I heard you speaking
You were calling for me

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
You've had enough, I know I've had enough
And we don't know what else now to do
We could both walk away, but there's too much at stake
You love me and I know I love you

[Verse 1]
Oh, I woke up this morning without you
Don't ask me how but I got through
The floor of this room, I was pacing
Trying to drown out the sound my heart was making
It was calling for you

[Outro]
Calling for you
Calling for you
Oh, oh, oh
