Calling Your Name Lyrics


Janis Ian Calling Your Name


Let me go on
never known your name
how can you be strong
everyone can see
she's insane

All my life I've waited
for someone to take the pain
all my life, I've waited
and now you're gone
even the sun's calling your name

See, in the city
the lights they shine pretty
in afterglow scented by rain
little old ladies
asleep in the cradling womb
surrounded by pain
God, the pain

Let me go on
never known your name
how can you be strong
even I can see
you're in pain

All my life I've waited
for someone to fill my head
all my life I've waited
for someone who'll fill my bed
and now you're gone
even the sun's calling your name
