Lyrics

Yesterday in the morning time
the sun was shining bright like you
Afternoon the breeze was warm
but I was feeling kinda blue
You see I know you want me baby
as much as I want you
Understanding these complications is
not something I can do
So we're sittin' here on the old stone wall
watching the sunset disappear
We keep the conversation light
like there's nothing really happening here
But there's feelings flying left and right
you can cut' em with a knife even in the moonlight
Then you look at me with them big brown eyes
you say sorry but I got to say goodbye
An I say why
Why do you run from me baby
Every time I look at you
I know you feel it too but you walk away
So tell me why
Why do you run from me baby
Why do you run from me and you
When you know this love is true tell me why

There's a cat fish jumping in the lake tonight
and I tell myself it'll be Al right
I say hold on, hold on, just be strong
just be patient now it won't be long
An every now and then I believe this is true
that one of these nights I'll be making' love to you
And one of these days you'll look at me and say
It's time now hey to throw my fears away
And you would own me heart and Soul
body, mind and spirit until we grew old
And if there's any after life at all
I'd meet you back here on the same stone wall
But I been waiting now for oh so long
I finally wrote this painful song
I'm frustrated, kinda jaded, kinda mad
but mostly now, I'm feeling oh so sad
So tell me why
Why do you run from me baby
Every time I look at you
I know you feel it too but you walk away
So tell me why
Why do you run from me baby
Why do you run from me and you
When you know this love is true tell me why
Sometimes this life it can be good
like hanging out here in the neighborhood
Summer days and long hot nights
the most irritating thing is a mosquito bite
And crickets they sing song after song
they're serenading us here on the old stone wall
Waiting' for a moment of truth to come when you look love in the eye and baby you don't run
I know she hurt you bad, she cheated and lied
Then she took you up the river for a hell of a ride
I know it's hard to trust your feelings again
But hey she's not me, not now, not then
An I wonder if the stars are lonely hearts
people who loved yet lived apart
Shining on the black sky hoping to see
two star crossed lovers
finaly set themselves free
Tell me why do you run from me baby
Every time I look at you
I know you feel it too but you walk away
So tell me why
Why do you run from me baby
Why do you run from me and you
When you know this love is true tell me why
