Same Sad Singer - Harry Chapin

They just told me take a pause

Here between the takes at the studio

And you came into my mind

It’s kind of funny, for you were the cause

Of me being here on the radio

And though that’s another time

I’m still wanting you

I’ve been hunting for you

I’m still wanting you

I need to find you

I’m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs

You long since left behind you

Since you’ve gone I’ve gone along

Been writing the music I’ve always wanted to

And they just picked up on me

I’m putting myself here inside each song

And finding my music is still so full of you

I dreamed of being here

But I never dreamed that you would be so long time gone from me

Oh, I’m still wanting you

I’ve been hunting for you

I’m still wanting you

I need to find you

I’m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs

You long since left behind you

Oh, me finding music’s why I lost you

Now, it’s the only chance I’ve got

They’re bringing in the strings to melt your heart somehow

You couldn’t hear me then

But maybe you can hear me now

Oh, I’m still wanting you

I’ve been hunting for you

I’m still wanting you

I need to find you

I’m just the same sad singer of the lonely songs

You long since left behind you

When I’m still wanting you
