Del Amitri - Sometimes I Just Have to Say Your Name lyrics

With the sweet drip of every raindrop
Time brings you closer to me
And with each new sign at every train-stop
Another hour without you is
Consigned to history

And with each tick of my alarm clock
I get crazy for the days to get to you
When I can hold you and kiss you have you
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool

But as day turns to night
There's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through
But honey
Sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air
To know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue
I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know
I only have to say your name

So this morning I picked up a paper
In the useless descent of the rain
While partners in heartbreak the
Whole world over lie and cheat just the same
And the headlines proclaim
Everything has changed
Love can't save you now
As each little motion of my wristwatch
Holds up my faith somehow

But as day turns to night
There's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through

But honey
Sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air
To know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue
I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know
I only have to say your name

When I've used up all my patience
When your letters have been
Read twenty times through
I can drink all the wine
In this place of mine
But it ain't no replacement
It ain't no replacement for you
