The Same Sad Singer — текст песни (Harry Chapin)

They just told me take a pause
here between the takes at the studio,
And you came into my mind.
It`s kind of funny, for you were the cause
of me being here on the radio
And though that`s another time,
I`m still wanting you,
I`ve been hunting for you.
I`m still wanting you,
I need to find you.
I`m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs
you long since left behind you.
Since you`ve gone I`ve gone along,
Been writing the music I`ve always wanted to,
And they just picked up on me.
I`m putting myself here inside each song
And finding my music is still so full of you.


I dreamed of being here,
but I never dreamed that you would be so long time gone from me,
Oh, I`m still wanting you,
I`ve been hunting for you.
I`m still wanting you,
I need to find you.
I`m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs
you long since left behind you.
Oh, me finding music`s why I lost you,
Now, it`s the only chance I`ve got.
They`re bringing in the strings to melt your heart somehow.
You couldn`t hear me then,
but maybe you can hear me now.
Oh, I`m still wanting you,
I`ve been hunting for you.
I`m still wanting you,
I need to find you.
I`m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs
you long since left behind you.
When I`m still wanting you.
