"The Ballad Of Glen Campbell" lyrics

Don't say it aloud
But my tears have all dried and frozen
Waiting whole months in the black
Till my yesterdays joined and started feeling new
There's comfort in the panic of watching love blur and skew

I'm now finally moving along
Needed someone to cling to
When I'm at the drop
Oh, I swing from longing to apathy in a breath
Certain of nothing but the next cigarette
At the drop, at the closing of the pits
Oh, I felt the sting of love's once hidden whip
Then you came out the gray
How you stumbled in, built a bed
Cut my hair, shaved my face
I felt her slipping away
Like a stone at the surface of your beautiful lake

Now I can't remember
The autumn rains
The scratching of winter
The fallen days
Oh, baby you're killing all thought of her softly
We woke in the morning to Glen Travis Campbell
And I swear I've never felt so new
Oh, I'm so smitten by you

Darling, this matador, beautiful semaphore
You could convince me that nothing else matters at all

Don't say it aloud
But my tears have all dried and frozen
Waiting whole months in the black
Till my yesterdays joined and started feeling new
There's comfort in the panic of the blur and skew
I chased every feeling to empty for you

Now I can't remember
The autumn rains
The scratching of winter
The fallen days
Oh, baby you're killing all thought of her softly
We came down that morning to Glen Travis Campbell
And I swear I've never felt so new
Oh, I'm so smitten by you
