The Part Of Me That's Over You
(Words and Music By Andy Hill)
I must admit I was surprised to see you here tonight
After the calls you never answered
And the letters you didn't write
Between your bull-headed resolution
And my ambivalent delay
You'd think providence would have provided half a clue

But I've loved you long enough
And at times you loved me, true
But now your wounded wizened heart must answer to
The part of me that's over you

I was your sea of disappointment
And your King of imperfection
From the christening seduction
To the final resurrection
Until the star I wished upon
Burst into flaming debris
And with each step the fire on my horizon grew

But I've loved you long enough
And at times you loved me, true
But now my wounded wizened heart must answer to
The part of me that's over you

There was a gambler on a losing streak
In a book somewhere I read
"You chase something long enough
It's sure to run," he said
"Stop and it'll stop,
Walk away and it'll follow"
Your return is half a dream come true
But darling, hard to swallow

Baby take my hand
And look me in the eye
Is it something in me you love?
Or something in good-bye?
Because I'm stunned by your embrace
There's nothing I feel that you don't see

And I've loved you long enough
My love is twisting to get free
Rising skyward from the cloud that used to be
The part of you that's over me
