Chris Smither - Hundred Dollar Valentine Lyrics

Tell me why the moment you are gone
I can't see anymore
That sun is rising but it just don't shine
There ain't no light through my door
I flip my switches but I don't turn on
There ain't a flicker baby, I got no juice today
I had a lighter in my carry on
But the airline took it away

You know it ain't just my sight that you stole
My hearts been missing a beat
My wheels are spinning but they just don't roll
I'm standing dead on my feet
I can't go out and baby I can't stay home
I'm crying showers yeah, my mind's a hurricane
I called a taxi bout an hour ago
But I think he got lost in the rain

No mail today, yeah, my phone never rings
Nothing works when you've gone
My mind is humming, but my heart won't sing
Baby can't you please come home?
I got time on my hands, you on my mind
I got a heart that's beating like a hundred dollar valentine
I know you told me you'll be home by 4
But I just can't take it no more
Yeah, I know you told me you'll be home by 4
But I just can't take it no more.
