"God I'm Missing You" lyrics - RODNEY CROWELL

I heard a siren
And you came to mind
You were the pretty part of us
I'm what's left behind
The equation's remainder
The last standing sign
God, I'm missing you

You're mouth's still so soft
Your countenance fair
Time stretches to shape you
Right out of thin air
But it can't hold the image
If I blink you're not there
God, I'm missing you

Are you gone forever?
Are you gone for good?
Or have I gone crazy
Wishing you would?
Come 'round the next corner
Step off of that train
Your old black umbrella
Fades half in the rain
God, I'm missing you

You're every curled rose bud
Entranced in my eye
Each turned a cold collar
And your gaze slides by
The sanded down moon
In a tar paper sky
God, I'm missing you

The night's down to nothing
The stars have withdrawn
The horizon splits open
That silvery dawn
The ghost of your breathing
Won't leave me alone
God, I'm missing you

Are you gone forever?
Are you gone for good?
Or have I gone crazy
Just wishing you would?
Come 'round the next corner
Step off of that train
Your old black umbrella
Fades half in the rain
God, I'm missing you
God, I'm missing you
God, I'm missing you
