The Late Show Lyrics by Watkins Family Hour

Vol. II

2022

Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care
But when you find that you've got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear
Well to see things clear it's hard enough I know
When you're waiting for reality to show
Without dreaming of the perfect love
And holding it so far above
That you stumbled onto someone real, you'd never know
You'd never know
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
Sometimes it doesn't show
He might be trying to get across to you
Words can be so slow
When your own emptiness is all that's getting through
There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking
I passed that point long ago
Long ago
I'm so tired of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
You know it's useless to pretend
That's all the voices say:
"You'll go right on circling
Until you find some kind of friend"
Well I saw you through the laughter and the noise
You were talking with the soldiers and the boys
While they scuffled for your weary smiles
I thought of all the empty miles
And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes
Looking for your eyes
Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say
That you might recognize
Afraid that all these words might scare you away
And break through the disguise
No one talks about their feelings anyway
Without dressing them in dreams and laughter
I guess it's just too painful otherwise
It's like you're standing in the window
Of a house nobody lives in
And I'm sitting in a car across the way
Let's just say
It's an early-model Chevrolet
Let's just say
It's a warm and windy day
You unpack your sorrow
The trash man comes tomorrow
Leave it at the curb and we'll just roll away
