Story Behind The Song

Big crush on a guy who doesn't know about it

Song Description

Wistful dreamy love song, haunting

Lyrics

All the Time
By Helen Avakian


Like a dream of a foggy face
In a smoke-fillled hall
Or a misty picture hanging
On some forgotten wall
You drift around me hauntingly
A cloak I wear invisibly
Like the wind that hugs the tree


CHORUS
In the street, in the grocery line
Relentless shadow following behind
In the sun, in the floating snow
Everywhere I go
You're with me ALL THE TIME

I hear your name in the cascade of the rattling rain
You shine down like the morning sun
Through the curtain of my brain
You come up in my conversation
Disrupt my powers of concentration
So again I turn to you for consolation

CHORUS

I keep my ear out for the silent laugh
Of the fickle moon
Hovering over both of us
Tonight in our separate rooms
Are you wrapped up in the arms of sleep
Working late, laughing with a friend, or watching
Something on TV?
And did you think of me?

CHORUS (ad lib)
In the street in the grocery line
Relentless shadow following behind
Driving the car, playing my guitar
There you are
In my stomach so tense, in my restlessness
In my sleepless nights and my giddiness
In my reckless style, in my secret smile
In the urgency I walk the mile
In the street, in the grocery line
Relentless shadow...
