lyrics
Rush up the boulevard
Run down the avenue
You tell me once more
You’re just passing through
I lean on the red brick
You’re so seldom homesick
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
We walk on the cobbles
And talk over coffee
You ask if I’ve missed you
I smile and say, “Awfully”
No hang-ups, no demands
Just my hand in your hand
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
‘Love’ is not a word you like to use
And understandably
You speak in ones, you never speak in twos
Always I and never We
I’m starting to wonder
If this is a problem
You whisper, I shiver
The lamplight goes dim
You drift off, the clock ticks
The stereo statics
And I’m still a modicum of lonesome
I don’t want to beg for what I need
I’ll take what I can get
You don’t lie and I am not deceived
By what’s plainly counterfeit
Old satin pillows
Spent cigarillos
A million emotions
I mustn’t expose
I’m empty and achy
You fill me, but break me
And I’m still a modicum of lonesome
I lean on the red brick
You’re so seldom homesick
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
Run down the avenue
You tell me once more
You’re just passing through
I lean on the red brick
You’re so seldom homesick
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
We walk on the cobbles
And talk over coffee
You ask if I’ve missed you
I smile and say, “Awfully”
No hang-ups, no demands
Just my hand in your hand
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
‘Love’ is not a word you like to use
And understandably
You speak in ones, you never speak in twos
Always I and never We
I’m starting to wonder
If this is a problem
You whisper, I shiver
The lamplight goes dim
You drift off, the clock ticks
The stereo statics
And I’m still a modicum of lonesome
I don’t want to beg for what I need
I’ll take what I can get
You don’t lie and I am not deceived
By what’s plainly counterfeit
Old satin pillows
Spent cigarillos
A million emotions
I mustn’t expose
I’m empty and achy
You fill me, but break me
And I’m still a modicum of lonesome
I lean on the red brick
You’re so seldom homesick
And I’m just a modicum of lonesome
