Dave Matthews Band And Dave Matthews Little Thing Lyrics

Little Thing Lyrics

So, um, so we've been doing this, uh, this tour, what I guess this is our fifth
show we've done, Tim and I, and, uh... (applause) And, uh, so this little song
has been growing out, uh, while we've been playing, sort of a little story. And
the little story I was in New York City and, uh, I was walking down the street.
Trying to find the place I was going (I can't remember where I was going now).
'Cause I met this girl and I asked her directions, you know. And she was, she
was tiny, you know. She, she wasn't young, she was just tiny. And, uh, so I
asked her directions and she said, 'Oh that's the way down there, walk over
there, go down there, you walk over there, and you go down there and then
you're there.' Something like that, anyway. So, uh, but I walked about ten
paces away and I was thinking... Daaamn, that girl was fine. And, oh, I turned
around to tell her so, and ask her maybe her name, or maybe if we should go and
get a cup of, who knows, coffee or something. And I'm sure if I turned around
and find 



her there I would have found out something...







But she talked so good



But when I turned around, she was gone



Oh, she was gone



I didn't even get her name, oh



I thought, goddamn



With your face in my mind



And your voice in my ears 



Still echoes



Oh, I bought a lovely flower



Standing there, we met that day



And hope that you would return



But, no, no, no







I can't remember where I was going



But I can't remember where I was leading to



Or what led me to you, but



Oh, and the weight is all through my head



The look of you, the sound



The way you cackled at me



From then and then, I didn't know where I was going



But always I cry







And so, hey, oh



The hands that pour my hands on you again



Hey, I will beg you, I'll beg, oh



See me, please find me again



Oh, I'm lost again



I sit here drinking coffee



Or water depending the time of day



But, oh, you're with me like a ghost of a mother



Oh, you're with me like the pain of a father



Oh, I wish I, I wish I could call you something



Other than the girl that I saw then







But, hey, I think that I would recognize you in a second



But, hey, I only saw you for a minute, maybe less



I don't hold my hand where



But I waited, honest



I'm lost now, I'm lost now



I can't remember what I used to be



But, oh, hey, yeah, weighted by the memory of



The memory of a love that never got born, but hey



Oh, hey







Do I even cross your mind lately



With more than just a laughing



Did you think as you walked away, maybe



You were, hey



Oh, I hope you did



So, hey, yeah



You would, you would have been feeling



The same thing as I am now







Thank you very much.







Speaking to Tim: Let's try to think of some other song... Interrupted by fans
requesting songs.







(Southern accent)But we, but we done already done it, done it then! (Switches
to pseudo-homosexual voice) That'd be like, you know, like, um, saying a thing,
and then not saying it for a little while, and then saying it again. And people
would be like, 'Why'd he say that again?'
