Girl of Mine - Blue Rodeo

Girl of mine

Where did we go wrong?

Oh, you never once said you loved me

And you never once called my name

And now I

I can see the way

My memories like cigarettes

Blow smoke upon the screen

I stare up to the empty face

That hangs inside my dreams

In the words of love I hesitate

They all come rushing in to me

Too late too late

Days and nights

Wondering what could it be

Did you need somebody stronger?

Someone to see you through?

Oh, girl, I never knew

Now your lipstick and your powder

They’re all put away in drawers

But the traces of our love affair

Still hide behind the doors

I lie awake afraid to sleep

'Cause I see the face I knew I’d never keep

I’d never keep

Too much to bear

Too much I fall down drunk

Too much I care

Tell me now

Do the words of love still seem the

Same to you?

Now we learned the angry lessons

And we still came back for more

Forget somehow what came before

My senses have been shocked

And I’m alive to every pain

Your quiet laughter comes to me

It echoes in the rain

In the darkness of my lonely room

I pray that you won’t fade

Away too soon

Too soon

It’s too much to bear

It’s too much I fall down drunk

Too much I care

Oh
