I been ridin shotgun for your pleasure and through the years I've nursed your blues but there's heartaches I can't measure tryin to miss the worst in you. You drop my hand and leave me stranded to lend your voice to someone new and you play on their attention until your vanity gets fooled. Chorus: When I stand there waitin baby in a long rainy Sunday mood I get wishin I was anywhere but there with the worst in you. There's memories made for lovers and we've got our share it's true but when you leave me lost and bothered I try to miss the worst in you. You skin smells just like a flower and your lips taste fresh like dew but all the good love that's been ours gets lost when it's abused. You give your time to some stranger to see if he will praise your needs while I'm left behind in anger knowin you'll slip back to me. Chorus: When I stand there waitin baby in a long rainy Sunday mood I get wishin I was anywhere but there with the worst in you. There's memories made for lovers and we've got our share it's true but when you leave me lost and bothered I try to miss the worst in you. Bridge: How long must I wait for that last flight to get here. That last trip to my side. Oh c'mon baby I been grounded here in nowhere wishin I could bury time. With you on my mind it's so true I try to miss the worst in you. Rep Chorus: The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

 (big hugggssssssss) So sad but such a wonderful song, dearest friend! (sigh) I too heard a little bit of Robert Cray appeal in this or Jake Johnson; I can feel the angst and sensitivity behind your poignant verse! (sigh) BRAVO!!! I LOVE IT!!! (smiles) It's always so wonderful to read your fabulous lyrics, sweet friend! (big hugggssssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

What a caring tender heart you display, Eric. This is so well written, and from the POV of the pain sometimes connected with unconditional love. An excellent write. |

Gosh you always get me going with the music that flows from your words. With this one I just kept wanting to say stop her crazy world of rebound and open your heart to one that will not leave your side. Soooooooo good to see your words. I love everything you write.   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

I like this verse.. and can relate with the waiting around because he's busier chasing other peoples praises rather then spend time with me. Been there.. done that.. Good write sweetie! Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all. |
