The eclipse behind the clouds
Cast a coolness over our backyard
And I turned to you but you'd gone inside
Don't you want to be here with me?
Are you here with me? You oughta be
And the afternoon fell down
If there were peepers, they didn't make a sound
And I hate to be the one to say it
But you're supposed to be close to me
Are you close to me? You're supposed to be
I'd been living with a ghost
Familiar shadow in a room
I gave it everything I've got
Or so I thought
The silent days glide by
Canoes on a lake beneath a morning sky
But no change would come with the rising sun
When the day is done I could been anyone
I could be anyone when the day is done
Maybe I had been the ghost
A piece of furniture in the room
I gave it everything I've got
Or so I thought
Maybe my greatest fault is all the presumptions that I make
Maybe you had stepped away
Cause you took all that you could take
Maybe my claim to fame is not accepting any blame
Maybe you had gone inside
Just for a little peace and quiet
Cause I always kill the moment by saying
You're supposed to be close to me
Are you close to me? You're supposed to be
Or so I thought
