Missing You - Al Kooper

I still recall the bouquet of your body

As though it were yesterday

And with trembling hands I reach for the bottle

To drink all my sadness away

Loving you, baby, was the peak of my life

Now there’s nowhere for me to go but down

And I feel like that boy in «The Prince & The Pauper»

As he dressed up in rags and than gave up his crown

Missing you has made me a shell of a man

Missing you until I just can’t understand

Missing you baby

Whatever tore us apart now?

Oh destiny you’re so mean & you’re cold

And there’s nuthin' folks can do to cramp your style

Just like the man who’s convicted of murder

Will pay for his crime when he walks that last mile

Lovin you baby, was my whole life to me

But you start dyin the moment that you’re born

And no one is there when you’ve picked all the roses

To come to your side & pull out every thorn

Missing you has made me a shell of a man

Missing you until I just can’t understand

Missing you baby

Whatever tore us apart now?
