Jonathan Richman

I Hear You Calling Me

Jonathan Richman


I hear you calling me 
you've called me when the moon had a viel of light 
before I went from you into the night 
I came 
do you remember? 
that you 
for one more kiss 
beneath the kind star's light 

I hear you calling me 
And oh the weary gladness in your voice 
that warmth that's made my longing heart rejoice 
you spoke 
do you remember? 
all my heart 
still hears that kiss 
and music of your voice 

I can hear you calling me 
though years have stretched their weary years between 
and over your grave the grass has now grown green 
I stand 
do you remember? 
resting here 
I'm still hearing your voice 
through all the years between 

I hear you calling me
