lyrics

THAT TIME OF THE YEAR
here comes that time of the year
your birthday's coming
it is almost here
and I don't know just what you'll do
but I guess that I won't be calling you
I know you think I act like a freak
but I don't even know what language you speak
and baby don't you know it's been a while
since the last time I saw you smile
in my empty house where we used to meet
on the ragged old couch where you'd rest your feet
oh, wasn't it sweet
so I guess I'll take a walk down by the park
I'll stay in there 'til it gets dark
remember the last time you where there with me
I can still see you there by the mulberry tree
laughing at me
so I'll get me a fancy dinner and a glass of wine
sit down and reminisce about those times
when I used to cook and play some music for you
all the nice things that you'd do
to see me through
here comes that time of the year
it's your birthday again but you're not here
you'll spend it somewhere with someone of your choice
he's the one who's blessed with the sound of your voice
and baby don't you know it's been a while
since the last time I looked into your eyes
you gave me everything I needed most
you gave it to me at such a cost
now it's all been lost
you gave me everything I needed bad
it's been the only time that I have been glad
to be among the living
'cause now
I belong to the dead
