For Shari

(album: Big Blue Sky - 1994)

It's four o'clock in the morning,
I hate to call you when it's storming,
But I didn't have a choice.
I know you must be sleeping,
Don't wanna wake you from your dreaming,
It's so good to hear your voice.
Did you win your game?
Do you feel the same?
I can smell the rain from here.
I love you so much.
I miss your touch.
Feels like I've been gone a year.
One hundred miles from spartanburg,
Just outside of orangeburg,
I'm in my head tonight.
The place I played was a drag, shari.
Don't know why I even gig there,
But the band was good and tight.
How's your mom and dad?

God it makes me sad to be apart from you.
Are your kids ok?
Tell 'em I said "hey."
I'll be home sunday after two.
Shari, I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know which way the wind is blowing.
I just hope I'm doing right.
I feel the cold wind in my face now,
But I'm picking up the pace now.
I guess we both should say goodnight.
I hope you win your game.
You know I feel the same.
I'll be home soon to wipe away your tears.
I love you so much.
I miss your touch.
Feels like I've been gone a year.
Is it storming still?
Are there daffodils?
I can smell that rain from here.
