The Way My Baby Calls My Name - Greg Brown

My love and I we’re always talkin'

Even though she reads my mind

When you ain’t too busy lookin'

It’s just amazing what you’ll find

The sock that was lost forever

The story in the flame

I love love in the mornin'

And I love the way my baby calls my name

Well, the moon can’t make it up tonight

And it’s tangled in some brush

Sometimes love gets heavy

Sometimes it’s just a crush

A little sunshine in the mornin'

And an evening all full of rain

Oh and I love a good firm pillow

And I love the way my baby calls my name

I got a squirrel talkin' dirty

In my walnut tree

A crow stole my number

And he won’t give it back to me

Trees are wavin' crazy

Naked and unashamed

Oh I love the smell of coffee

And I love the way my baby calls my name

I might dream of the Kenai River

Might dream of Portugal

Might dream you’re doin' what you’re doin' honey

Or I might not dream at all

I might wake up in the morning

Throw another greenback in the game

And I love a good firm pillow

I love the way my baby calls my name

She said I know you love me baby

You don’t have to give me proof

You don’t have to climb way up there honey

And try to fly off the roof

I know you love me honey

I can tell it by these rings

She said you don’t have to get up there on the roof baby

To try to flap your wings

Oh, I love her when she’s happy

I love her when she’s sad

I love her when she’s way too good

And when she’s so darn bad

When she tells me not to look at her like that

And then smiles I 'bout go insane

And I love the way she does it

I love the way my baby calls my name

Oh, I love the way she does it

I love the way my baby calls my name

And I love love in the mornin'

I love the way my baby calls my name

I love the smell of coffee

And I love the way my baby calls my name

Yes, I love the way she does it

I love the way my baby calls my name
