lyrics

Cryin' Shame

When I see you talking, your eyes tell me through my t.v.
That we are meant to meet
I've also seen you sleeping, so softly in that movie
I wish you'd do that next to me

It's a cryin' shame that you don't even know my name
And I swear sometimes it smarts to feel you breathing down my heart

And now you are smiling, brilliantly in a magazine
But no one knows you just like me
And now you are laughing, playfully in a window display
But I can't get inside to be

It's a cryin' shame that you don't even know my name
And I swear sometimes it smarts to feel you breathing down my heart

I can't stand the waiting for the day when our lives meet
I'd be so fascinating, you'll see

And now you are laughing, playfully in a window display
And I am climbing in to say

It's a cryin' shame that you don't even know my name
And I swear sometimes it smarts to feel you breathing down, breathing down
Yes it's a cryin' shame that you don't even know my name
An'd I swear sometimes it smarts to feel you breathing down my heart
But I can't get in, how to begin when you're so far
From reality and me, from reality and me
From reality, reality, reality and me
