99 from Silver Lining by Good Guy Hank

99



I find myself a little lost

Tired of counting up the cost

Of looking for what I can never find

The crows are calling from the roof

I can’t help but loop the loop

Wishing that you’d just make up your mind



You got some business down the way

You gotta go you have to stay

There’s a phone call every time I start to speak

And from your stereo

Most absolutely nothing slow

Taking all the thoughts that I can think



Them lovin eyes ain’t there to see

I don’t know where did they go?

The happy heart that lay

Beneath me in the snow

Back on the street the people drank

Their whisky and their wine

New Years just ain’t the same since 99



Now every day’s there to behold

But we lie asleep while it gets old

And disappears before we’ve said goodbye

I can’t see how we stand to win

My glass is half empty again

I’ve gotta find the girl from 99



Them lovin eyes ain’t there to see

I don’t know where did they go?

The happy heart that lay

Beneath me in the snow

Back on the street the people drank

Their whisky and their wine

New Years just ain’t the same since 99



And it’s times like these

When I feel that heavy hand

Resting on my shoulder

And I can’t understand

Why these nights don’t give in

When I gave you everything

I ever had



And the closest that I get

Is when she’s sailing off to sleep

Holds onto me like I’m the only

Thing she needs

But I just can’t stand this taste of fear

The sound of craving in my ear

This party isn’t where I wanna be



Them lovin eyes ain’t there to see

I don’t know where did they go?

The happy heart that lay

Beneath me in the snow

Back on the street the people drank

Their whisky and their wine

New Years just ain’t the same since 99
