Brickell Edie Lost in the moment lyrics

Brickell Edie
Miscellaneous
Lost in the moment
The register stood open
as smoke cleared the room
And one man was lying
over blood and a broom

The store door was swingin´
in a midnight breeze
And another man ran
through the dark and the trees

Lost in the moment
of what he needs

He ran past a motel
threw his gun in the trash
Looked down through the darkness
and counted the cash

The man at the store was
trying to stand
Looked up through the white light
and reached out his hand

Lost in the moment
of what he needs

Are you there
can you hear me

The ambulance arrived
but it was too late
In the spin of the red lights
they covered his face


He had a wife who was waiting
watching TV in bed
Wondering why
he wasn´t home yet

Their baby was sleeping
until the telephone rang
He woke and he cried out
but nobody came

Lost in the moment
of what he needs

Are you there
can you hear me

She doesn´t know what they´ll do now
now that he´s gone
Try to get over
and try to get on

Alone in the backyard
a cool afternoon
The tree that they planted
has started to bloom

She wanted him to see this
she wanted him there
She wanted to kiss him
and brush back his hair

Lost in the moment
of what she needs
