I'll Be Here in the Morning - Townes Van Zandt

We met, of all places, in front of Gristides Some freakishly cold winter's day I had on several unflattering layers of wool He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full So I rescued some Froot Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go When he said, "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow? Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at seven If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here And in case there are two fellas waiting for you My name's John" He waved, and then He was gone Needless to say, I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show And there he was Out in the cold, with his jacket pulled tight He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight The next week, we went to this terrible play And the week after that, drank hot chocolate all day And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by When he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life? Because I'll be here Right beside you, as long as you want me to be There's no question There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life This might sound immature But I'm totally sure You're the one" And we had just begun! We got hitched in September, our favorite month With a rock band that played in this old synagogue And we bought an apartment, on West 17th Street And talked about children and getting a dog Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off He had to stop into his office that morning, and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know When I heard on the street, what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left With the last words he said I'm sorry I don't mean to ruin your evening By bringing up all of this stuff You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight Well, today something happened that spooked me alright I saw this stormcloud of papers fall down from the sky And I thought of that day, and I started to cry When as sure as I breathe, I heard John, clear as day Saying, "Hey, you're allowed to move on It's okay Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater Even if you go out on my birthday this year Instead of sitting at home Letting all of life's moments pass by You don't have to cry! Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together When you take off my ring, and you let yourself smile When you meet someone handsome and patient and true When he says that he wants to be married to you When you call him one night, and he meets you downtown When you finally answer him yes..." Yes! Jason... I will marry you I will give you my heart It has taken so long But I'm ready to start Right now John's whispering 'congrats' in my ear Cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me

As andorinhas voltaram E eu também voltei Pousar no velho ninho Que um dia aqui deixei Nós somos andorinhas Que vão e que vem À procura de amor Às vezes volta cansada Ferida, machucada Mas volta pra casa Batendo suas asas Com grande dor Igual à andorinha Eu parti sonhando Mas foi tudo em vão Voltei sem felicidade Porque, na verdade Uma andorinha Voando sozinha Não faz verão As andorinhas voltaram E eu também voltei Pousar no velho ninho Que um dia aqui deixei Nós somos andorinhas Que vão e que vem À procura de amor Às vezes volta cansada Ferida, machucada Mas volta pra casa Batendo suas asas Com grande dor Igual à andorinha Eu parti sonhando Mas foi tudo em vão Voltei sem felicidade Porque, na verdade Uma andorinha Voando sozinha Não faz verão

Eu quero que risque meu nome da sua agenda Esqueça meu telefone, não me ligue mais Porque já estou cansado de ser o remédio Pra curar seu tédio Quando seus amores não lhe satisfazem Cansei de ser o seu palhaço Fazer o que sempre quis Cansei de curar sua fossa Quando você não se sentia feliz Por isso é que decidi O meu telefone cortar Você vai discar várias vezes Telefone mudo não pode chamar. Doente de amor Procurei remédio na vida noturna. Como a flor da noite Em uma boate aqui na zona sul. A dor do amor é com outro amor Que a gente cura. Vim curar a dor deste mal de amor Na boate azul. E quando a noite vai se agonizando No clarão da aurora. Os integrantes da vida noturna Se foram dormir. E a dama da noite Que estava comigo Também foi embora. Fecharam-se as portas Sozinho de novo Tive que sair. Sair de que jeito, Se nem sei o rumo para onde vou. Muito vagamente me lembro que estou, Em uma boate aqui na zona sul Eu bebi demais E não consigo me lembrar sequer. Qual é o nome daquela mulher, A flor da noite da boate azul.
