Calling Out For Love (at Crying Time) Lyrics

(M. Crenshaw, D. Dixon) 

    

  She was kicking down the fence trying to hide the evidence 

that would give her game away 

but everything was as clear as day 

I knew she had no more to give, she hated everything she did 

and I could feel her restless mind 

calling out for love at crying time 

All those days that seemed like years 

the silence roaring in our ears 

then at night a ticking sound 

the timebomb of the life we'd found 

I watched her leave, my heart in flames 

fanned by all her other lovers' names 

and I could feel my restless mind 

calling out for love at crying time 

Whisky, wine and cheap perfume; all those crowded bars 

and hotel rooms 

Exotic rhythms to embrace 

but everywhere is a lonely place 

so down and down and down I go 

but where I'm going, well I sure don't know 

But I can feel my restless mind 

calling out for love at crying time
