Ive Been Meaning To Call
Robert Francis
I SO WANT TO MAKE A TABLATURE OF THIS IN THE FUTURE TUNING Untune your guitar half step down that is somewhere in the middle of E and D# CAPO ON 1 Early to rise Early to bed That moment I’d risen I shaved my head Doing so that morning began with a grin I left behind my old fabled skin It was middle of May the seasons were bending I with the seasons could predict no ending Lived in the moment being as it were That moment surrendered and led me to her Exchanging glances our eyes by a thread I tugged her right over by tilting my head I followed her blind to an old record store While one of her friends found a way through the door In the dark we played records with everyone high I held her hands when the police drove by She asked me bout’ home if I missed it at all I thought Mama oh Mom I’ve been meaning to call The band went home I stayed behind I took the Muskegon Ferry from the Milwaukee line Arrived at her door to clutch all her hearts strings We’re driving up north to forget everything I followed her to beaches we slept on the dunes I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons Not crescent nor full inside of the storm She’d dive and resurface each time changing form But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks Time out of water resumed on the clocks She slept while the second hand spun on the wall I thought Mama Oh Mom I’ve been meaning to call I didn’t wanna lose her I bought two tickets home We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone Standing there watching our feet off the plane Each step she took further I was less the same I was running from whoever I was at the time I went running right into the middle of a crime I was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime Just to come up for some air I was climbing to climb And I didn’t mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime And just within a day you were well on your way And I went to the river where all sinners meet Watched the animals run from headlights in the street I thought I’m like all the rest I just wanna be impressed You gotta be above someone to watch them fall Emily I’ve been meaning Emily I’ve been meaning Emily I’ve been mea..ning to call _____________________________________ ENJOY!!! https://soundcloud.com/diego-a-m instagram.com/dddiegoy/
