there - david shire lyrics

Loading...

[woman]
there
he was never there
every time we talked
i’d look in his eyes
and his mind was where?

i don’t mean to say
life was doom and gloom
things were always pleasant
if i needed help
he was in the room
he just wasn’t present

he just wasn’t there
never really there
i felt so unhinged
i went out and binged
had that dumb affair

still, the fault’s not mine
quoting gertrude stein:
“there was just no there there.”
there, there

don’t know why i care
‘cept that i am here
’cause he wasn’t

[man]
there

[woman]
there

[man]
i was never

[woman]
there

[man]
there
she was always

[woman]
there

[man]
saying “george, be”

[woman]
there

[man]
and my mind said where?
did i have a choice?
love is worth the fight
not a thing you squander

[woman]
yoo hoo, george!

[man]
then i’d hear her voice

[woman]
george?

[man]
urgent and uptight

[woman]
h-llo?

[man]
and my mind would wander

[woman]
come in, george

[man]
so i wasn’t there

[woman]
couldn’t he be there?

[man]
never really there

[woman]
once an evening there

[man]
and i felt maligned
that my vagrant mind
meant i didn’t care

[woman]
it was clear that he didn’t care

[man]
then, to make things smooth
she would try soothe
sticking in her “there, there”
there

[woman]
there, there

[man]
got out of her hair
’cause she made it clear
that i wasn’t there

[woman]
i’m not a jerk
though it’s the way i seem

[man]
wanted to be there

[woman]
he had his work
i gave him time to dream

[man]
knew i should be there

[woman]
lost my desire
waiting till he awoke

[man]
worked at being there

[woman]
longing for fire
living with smoke
isn’t a joke

[man]
i tried to go her way
wanting things improved
tired of being not there

[woman]
is it so hard a task?

[man]
think of my dismay
finding she had moved
by the time i got there

[woman]
too much to ask?

[man]
she was over there

[woman]
i was here
i was always here

[man]
where the h-ll was there?

[woman]
there was here
could it be more clear?

[both]
groping like the blind
how we hoped to find
one place we could share
faults we tried to hide
living side by side
funny, when they’re there
they’re there

[woman]
there, there
and it isn’t fair

[man]
no, it really isn’t fair

[woman]
that we wind up here

[man]
that we wind up here

[both]
when we once were there
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
