Greg Brown - The Way My Baby Calls My Name

My love and I we're always talkinEven though she reads my mind
When you ain't too busy lookinIt's just amazing what you'll find
The sock that was lost forever
The story in the flame
I love love in the morninAnd I love the way my baby calls my name.

Well, the moon can't make it up tonight
And it's tangled in some brush
Sometimes love gets heavy
Sometimes it's just a crush
A little sunshine in the morninAnd an evening all full of rain
Oh and I love a good firm pillow
And I love the way my baby calls my name.

I got a squirrel talkin' dirty
In my walnut tree
A crow stole my number
And he won't give it back to me
Trees are wavin' crazy
Naked and unashamed
Oh I love the smell of coffee
And I love the way my baby calls my name.

I might dream of the Kenai River
Might dream of Portugal
Might dream you're doin' what you're doin' honey
Or I might not dream at all
I might wake up in the morning
Throw another greenback in the game And I love a good firm pillow
I love the way my baby calls my name.

She said I know you love me baby
You don't have to give me proof
You don't have to climb way up there honey
And try to fly off the roof
I know you love me honey
I can tell it by these rings
She said you don't have to get up there on the roof baby
To try to flap your wings.

Oh, I love her when she's happy
I love her when she's sad
I love her when she's way too good
And when she's so darn bad
When she tells me not to look at her like that
And then smiles I 'bout go insane
And I love the way she does it
I love the way my baby calls my name.

Oh, I love the way she does it
I love the way my baby calls my name.
And I love love in the morninI love the way my baby calls my name.
I love the smell of coffee
And I love the way my baby calls my name.
Yes, I love the way she does it
I love the way my baby calls my name.
