Edie Brickell - Lost in the Moment lyrics

The register stood open as the
Smoke cleared the room
And one man was lying over blood and a broom
The store door was swingin'
In a midnight breeze
And another man ran through the
Dark and the trees

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs

He ran past the motel threw
His gun in the trash
Looked down through the darkness
And counted the cash
The man at the store was trying to stand
Looked up through the white light
And reached out his hand
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me are you there

The ambulance arrived but it was too late
In the spin of the red
Lights they covered his face
He had a wife who was
Waiting watching TV in bed
Wondering why he wasn't home yet
Their baby was sleeping until
The telephone rang
He woke and he cried out but nobody came

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me are you there

She doesn't know what they'll do
Now now that he's gone
Try to get over and try to get on
Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon
The tree they planted has started to bloom
She wanted him to see this
She wanted him there
She wanted to kiss him and
Brush back his hair

Lost in the moment of what she needs
Lost in the moment of what she needs
