August & Everything After Lyrics - 1993

[ Buy August & Everything After ]

This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And i don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But i just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
And i get no answers
And i don't get no change
It's raining in baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There's things i remember and things i forget
I miss you i guess that i should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call maybe i should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train if i listen real hard
And i wish it was a small world
Because i'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
