Where Did I Go Wrong

Martin Sexton


The venetian blinds are open tonight 
Just enough to let in the street light 
And the shadows paint lines over everything 
In the room 

There's my chair by the phone 
The coat on the floor 
Look like dark horizons that lead to the door 
On that old Christmas candle you carved the words 
I love you 
And since you've been gone 
There's nothin' right 

Where did I go wrong with you 
Where did I go wrong 

No more dim Sunday night's dance to that sexy radio show 
Our hips locked tight 
Your neck sweating glow 
All sweet night, we'd cook 
Supper slow 
And oh by the way 
You left your candle babe 

Burning down 
IÕm begging darlin' please 

Where did I go wrong with you 
Where did I go wrong 

Was it something I said or did or didn't do 
Was all I had not enough for you 
Tell me where did I go wrong with you 

All the life we were burning through 
What with your memory shall I do 
I opened up the deepest of my inside 
It was all I had left to give 
To you. 
Where did I go wrong with you
