"Hello My Name Is" lyrics
"Hello My Name Is"
If you look real hard
Squint with all your might
Even better close your eyes
And it all comes into sight
Learning to trust the wait
For blessings in disguise
It's kind of like a chrysalis
Turning into butterflies
If you were lonely here
Will you be lonely there
And when you're gone one day
Will anybody care
There's all these things I ought
To still find time to do
Instead of I'm fucking off
Writing letters to the moon
Pack the family memories
And your best laid plans
Join the serpentine line
Holding one another's hands
Time to check your bag
Where no baggage claim is
And wear a tag that says
Hello my name is
Hello, hello
We tilt towards the light
Like such natural optimists
But we also love the night
And all its shadow gifts
Maybe the hardest part
Of all the letting go
Is the taking stock
Of all we'll never know
Pack the family memories
And the best laid plans
Join the serpentine line
Holding one another's hands
Time to check your bag
Where no baggage claim is
And wear a tag that says
Hello my name is
Hello, hello, hello

Stood on the shore
Seems like the devil's always tryin'

Crystal Gayle - "Talking In Your Sleep" Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's going to be another sleepless night
I've been listening to your dreams and getting very low
Wondering what I can do
Maybe I'm being foolish...
