I'm Tellin' Me A Lie

(album: Between This Time And The Next Time - 1981)

Well these memories of mine don't seem to know you're gone
They just cause my pain this day and linger on
I fool myself each night and say everything will be okay
But I know my dear I'm telling me a lie

When we went our separate ways the bottle helped me through the days
But the night time always found me wanting you
But when I'll wake from this restless sleep I'll find you only in my dreams
And then I know my dear I'm telling me a lie

Found myself call out your name although you're not around
And talking to these shadows have got me down
I must be an awful sight hugging my pillow every night
'Cause I know my dear I'm telling me a lie

When we went our separate ways
And then I know my dear I'm telling me a lie
