Hundred Dollar Valentine - Chris Smither

Tell me why the moment you are gone

I can’t see anymore

That sun is rising but it just don’t shine

There ain’t no light through my door

I flip my switches but I don’t turn on

There ain’t a flicker baby, I got no juice today

I had a lighter in my carry on

But the airline took it away

You know it ain’t just my sight that you stole

My hearts been missing a beat

My wheels are spinning but they just don’t roll

I’m standing dead on my feet

I can’t go out and baby I can’t stay home

I’m crying showers yeah, my mind’s a hurricane

I called a taxi bout an hour ago

But I think he got lost in the rain

No mail today, yeah, my phone never rings

Nothing works when you’ve gone

My mind is humming, but my heart won’t sing

Baby can’t you please come home?

I got time on my hands, you on my mind

I got a heart that’s beating like a hundred dollar valentine

I know you told me you’ll be home by four

But I just can’t take it no more

Yeah, I know you told me you’ll be home by four

But I just can’t take it no more
