Something Sad - Timothy B. Schmit

I spend all my time searching up and down

Looking for some other way

Every now and then I will turn around

Just to find that it’s a new day

Why am I afraid to be standing here

Turning my face to the wall

How can I believe that you’re really there

When I don’t even know you at all

I’ll keep trying to make it through

No matter what you say

I’m a fool who still loves you

Bring me a brighter day

Oh there’s something sad about it baby

I take it slow

But then everyday I get in my own way

That’s how it goes

My heart wants to follow you everywhere

But I try to draw the line

I’m standing in the shade of a blue affair

Hoping it will work out in time

Baby all I want from you is a simple chance

Just enough time to explore

We could put an end to this song and dance

It doesn’t have to be such a chore

In this world full of danger

All we can do is try

Maybe we won’t be strangers

Keep my love alive

Oh there’s something sad about it baby

I take it slow

But then everyday I get in my own way

That’s how it goes

Deep in the night I dream we’re together

Nothing can do me wrong

But then I wake up and find you’re really no there
