Jim Caroll - I Write Your Name Lyrics
I write your nameEverywhere I goLike a worn out codeJust to let you knowI write your nameOn my lonelinessOn the closet hook where you hung that dressDont you seeYou turn this trustTo wind and dust and its choking meIts hard to touch the sunAnd be the only one, then watch it run awayI never thought a change could terrify this wayI love you twice you knowOnce for work, once for playSo I got this penIt doesnt hurt me whenI write your nameOn tv screens,On empty plates, on magazinesI write your nameIn san franciscoOn bathroom walls and new wave discosIts hard to live in hateTheres no day and nightTheres no time or dateYou were gone like sweat and rainThrough my own two hands,I write your name in vainI cant believe you meantWhen you walked out of that doorTo put off any chance to be with you once moreThe only thing you left behind was terrorYoure like an echo in an empty mirrorI need the proof to showTo let them know, to let them knowI write your nameI write your nameWith thick blue inkOn stones I throw just to watch em sinkI write your nameOn a great wood beamOn an ancient ship in a fading dreamI write your nameOn every move I makeOn the things I fake, on my own mistakesI write your nameOn my ***** frightFor the final time, I write your name tonightI never knew a wordCould take it all awayAnd I wish I never heardThe words you had to sayBut there is nothing left to find of youI left behind the final clueBut I still have this penAnd every now and thenI write your nameI write your nameI write your name
