Chris Smither Hundred Dollar Valentine lyrics

Tell me why, yeah, the moment you're gone
I can't see anymore.
That sun is rising but it just don't shine.
There ain't no light through my door.
I flip my switches but I don't turn on.
There ain't a flicker, baby. I got no juice today.
I had a lighter in my carry on
But the airline took it away.

Well it ain't just my sight that you stole.
My heart's been missing a beat.
My wheels are spinning but they just don't roll.
I'm standing dead on my feet.
I can't go out, baby, I can't go home.
I'm crying showers yeah. My mind's a hurricane.
I called a taxi ...bout an hour ago

But I think he got lost in the rain.

No mail today. My phone never rings.
Nothing works when you're gone.
My mind is humming but my heart don't sing
Baby can't you please come home.
I got time on my hands. I got you on my mind.
I got a heart that's beating like a hundred dollar valentine.
I know you told me you'd be home by four
But I just can't take it no more.
Yeah, I know you told me you'd be home by four
But I just can't take it no more.
