Hey Baby Hey - Greg Brown

The sea was rollin' in slate gray

I looked at you and I looked away

I was cryin'

Because I was happy

I didn’t want you to see

I was afraid of such mystery

And afraid of losing

So afraid of losing

Later on on a balcony

We had a good talk and we felt free

I was comin' to you from far away

Light was dim but you showed me the way

In your arms all I could say was

Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey

My heart was torn I’d made up my mind

I’d keep to myself and just be kind

And need nothing

Just need nothing

Love my folks my kids my friends

And make it on through to the end

No more suffering

Over loving

You get to me like old time religion did

In my heart when I was a kid

You’re sweet gospel music to my ears

You know how to ease all my fears

And from my heart to yours all I can say is

Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey

And as we go on through the deal I

I know that we won’t always feel

Real wonderful

Life ain’t like that

But I want to stay right by your side

Check out the view enjoy the ride

Together

With all our loved ones

I want to plant a little garden with you now

Take care of a piece of the earth somehow

And tend it when we’re old and gray and

Try to straighten up and say, well

I’m so glad to see you today

Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
