Lyrics

CALLING ME BACK

I HEAR THE SOFTLY FALLING RAIN
CALLING ME BACK AGAIN
CALLING ME BACK AGAIN

DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS
WHERE SHE IS STANDING

DANCING ALONE UPON A STAGE AND I?M
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND

(HEAR THE VOICES IN MY HEAD)
MERCY MERCY DARLIN
(I HEAR THE VOICES SAY)
MERCY MERCY DARLIN
CAN YOU COME OUT TO PLAY
CAN YOU COME OUT TO PLAY TODAY

BASEBALL WITH THE BOYS IN OUR BACKYARD
WHILE MY DADDY IGNORED ME
LACE GOWN AND FLOWERS FOR THE PROM
WHILE MY BOYFRIEND ADORED ME

(AND ALL THE WHILE I WAS)
FREE FALLING, CRASHING INTO LIFE
(NO ONE TO GUIDE ME)
FASTER NOW, EVER FASTER NOW
THE FIRE BURNS (INSIDE ME)
HERE I AM
HARDER THAN I MEANT TO BE
HERE I AM
OLDER THAN I SHOULD BE
ALL I AM
AND ALL THAT I WAS TAUGHT TO BE
ALL I AM
IS IT ALL THAT YOU EXPECTED ME TO BE
ALL I AM

DANCING ALONE UPON THAT STAGE I WAS
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
WHILE I WAS DANCING ALONE UPON THAT STAGE I WAS
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND

WHY A SKY BLUE MORNING GLORY
WILTS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND?
