From the recording Mama Came to Sing
Lyrics
IN MY ARMS AGAIN
You’ve been gone ‘bout a year and change
And I’ve moved the furniture to rearrange
Now I’m seeing your face in the piles of hair on the floor
And I wonder, what do I pay my cleaner for?
Since you left I’ve been getting fat
And I’m spending too much time with your old cat
But I’m counting the days till you sit on my couch again
And you offer your best excuse for where you been
Until then I’ll keep on standing
Do what I can to get along
Convince myself that you’ll be coming home
Until you’re in my arms again
I’ve been thinking that I should shave
But my hairy legs make me feel tough and brave
And I’ll keep up the front ‘til you’re walking through that door
Smile at the thought of you knocked out on my floor
Until then I’ll keep on standing
Do what I can to get along
Convince myself that you’ll be coming home
Until you’re in my arms again
Until you’re in my arms again
When I think of you
I know only you can move me
Then I wonder if it’s just the TV talking to me
Until then I’ll keep on standing
Do what I can to get along
Convince myself that you’ll be coming home
Until you’re in my arms again
Until you’re in my arms again
Until you’re in my arms again…
