Baby, Don't Flake Out On Me

from Drinking songs for Sober Drunks by Bill White

/

lyrics

i know you dont like it when I call you baby
So dont flake out on me dont make me crazy
ill be pulling in at mindnight, pulling oit at half past three
So dont be late, baby dont flake out on me

i left you for another a year ago today
i was the one who was leaving
you were the one who got away
when we were in the garden, you were planting seeds
i was trimming hedges and rooting up the weeds

in the dark you asked e what i wanted most
the words of love and passion
or the kiss of the holy ghost
tis better, says the messenger, to marry than to burn
if again i leave you no more shall i return

im crossing clear to the other side
above the wind and sleet and rain
i see you running as i slide away
bringing me the last of the courvasier

dont leave me in the past, all dead and buried
why cant t be like it was
before you got married?
if you fly from these mountains to the clouds of solid rock
who will be your lover, the sparrow or the hawk?
