Calling Out For Love (At Crying Time)

Marshall Crenshaw


She was kicking down the fence trying to hide the evidence 
that would give her game away 
but everything was as clear as day 
I knew she had no more to give, she hated everything she did 
and I could feel her restless mind 
calling out for love at crying time 
All those days that seemed like years 
the silence roaring in our ears 
then at night a ticking sound 
the timebomb of the life we'd found 
I watched her leave, my heart in flames 
fanned by all her other lovers' names 
and I could feel my restless mind 
calling out for love at crying time 
Whisky, wine and cheap perfume; all those crowded bars 
and hotel rooms 
Exotic rhythms to embrace 
but everywhere is a lonely place 
so down and down and down I go 
but where I'm going, well I sure don't know 
But I can feel my restless mind 
calling out for love at crying time
