Don't Disappear Now

Marshall Crenshaw


There is a certain appeal to danger and pain 
When she whispered those words, I said 
"What's your name?" 
Right then I knew in my heart 
That we shouldn't start 
But there you go... 
Could she mess up my mind? 
She looked so fine 
I just had to know... 
So we got into her car 
And drove to her place 
We didn't stop making love 
For thirty long days 
Until the telephone rang 
My very soul she did command 
All it took was her smile 
The wink of her eye 
The wave of her hand 
So just imagine how I'm feeling right now 
No word from her again today 
Did she follow that dream like a flaming star 
I hope she hasn't gone to stay 
I just wish that I could find a way 
To make her hear these words somehow 
I need you bad 
Don't disappear now 
We'll meet again by and by 
'Til then I'll try to keep moving my shoes 
One step ahead of the blues
