Del Amitri - Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name Lyrics






With the sweet drip of every raindrop
Time brings you closer to me
And with each new sign at every train-stop
Another hour without you is consigned to history

And with each tick of my alarm clock
I get crazy for the days to get to you
When I can hold you and kiss you have you
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool

But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through

But honey, sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name

So this morning I picked up a paper
In the useless descent of the rain
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
Lie and cheat just the same
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
Love can't save you now
As each little motion of my wristwatch
Holds up my faith somehow

But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through

But honey, sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name

When I've used up all my patience
When your letters have been read twenty times through
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
But it ain't no replacement
It ain't no replacement for you

    @exquemeling thanks for putting up all these songs. I'd been living on the greatest hits cd I bought back in 98 or 99. Sorry that each one of the songs seems to be connected to a painful memory for you. I'm sure you'll find someone who won't betray you and is worthy of your affection. I had some similar experiences but finally found someone 100% trustworthy who I know will never betray me. Good luck!

    Nathan, I know - only 306 views - its disgraceful that Del Amitri never achieved the success they truly deserved!

  11. N.... B....

    Exquemeling, I'm kinda dissapointed that this song only has 306 view. I can't tell you how many times I've put this song on a loop. Great B Side track from Some other sucker's parade album
    CORRECTION! Change Everything Album!
