Been Lookin' For You Lately

I Been Lookin' For You Lately
Tryin' to find you all around town
Movin' like a black cat ridin' through the shadows
Pickin' every trick to make a sound
But I still ain't seen you nowhere
Still ain't seen you on the street
& all of this walkin' is killin' my feet

I Been Lookin' For You Lately
Lookin' for a chance to put in a word
But I'm stuck here roamin' these alleys
One more ghost of a haunted bird
Roamin' in this howlin' wind
Whippin' rain into my face
These streets don't do much to soothe a man with demons to chase
Don't offer more warmth than an old mac in disgrace

I couldn't tell
If you fell
Or only faltered
& when I woke
You'd eloped
& I had halted

I Been Lookin' For You Lately
Tryin' to dodge that big red storm
I been thinkin' of the might's & the maybe's
Rulin' out the law of the ways of the thorn
I got fresh skins on my pillow
All I need is your new wine
I got my cup stretched out
Won't you pour me a little sunshine
I Been Lookin' For You Lately
Won't you look, see if I'm doin' fine
