Crowds Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

Well you didn′t disappear
You surely said goodbye
With your eyes full of tears
And heartache in your smile
And I should have kept in touch
I don't know what I was thinking
But it got to be too much
And I sort of took to drinking
Darling you used to tell me

Don′t throw too much away
And I realized that I had

One cold October day


So I look for you in crowds
In train stations and bus stops
On sidewalks in the middle of the night
When I go driving by
Little churchyards on Saturdays
I check to see if you might be the bride
I hope you're happy now
I still look for you in crowds

Do you remember Mrs. Randolph?
She lived on Second Avenue
And when we'd go walking by
How′d she′d come running after you
Well I saw her just the other day
Ran into her by chance
She asked me how you were

As she took my hand
When I told her what had happened
Her eyes filled up with tears
And as she walked away

I wanted to call after her


I still look for you in crowds
In train stations and bus stops
On sidewalks in the middle of the night
When I go driving by
Little churchyards on Saturdays
I check to see if you might be the bride
I hope you're happy now
I still look for you in crowds

So if you′re listening to this station
Maybe you're driving home
You got a kid in the back seat
Maybe you′re all alone
My name is Simon Wright

My father was a preacher
My sister was your best friend
Your mother was a teacher
I ain't looking for nothing much
Just an old friend
So darling if you′re listening
Maybe you could just call in

So I still look for you in crowds
In train stations and bus stops
On sidewalks in the middle of the night
When I go driving by
Little churchyards on Saturdays
I check to see if you might be the bride
I hope you're happy now
I still look for you in crowds
I still look for you
