Song For Bonnie

Song For Bonnie
by Tom Chapin

Questions, all these questions
I’m tired of answers, too
Tired of running on my own
I just want to be with you

Reason, we’ve got reason
Reasons high and low
Words are made for twisting
They take you where you want to go

And I’ve been down, down-hearted
Been up like the sun in the morning
When my darkest night is done

And your name’s been running all day long
Like a fountain in my mind
I’m hoping that you’ll want me
I need for you to need me
Hope that you will love me one more time
And I’ll be fine.

I still remember thinking
That love is a TV dream
Has nothing to do with people,
Nothing to do with me

But I’ve been down, down-hearted
Been up like the sun in the morning
When my bad dream’s on the run

And your name’s been running all day long
Like a fountain in my mind
I hope that you will love me one more time

Hold me,
Don’t you need someone to hold
When loneliness is right outside
And the wind is blowing cold

Changing, we are changing
Even when we’re standing still
I don’t expect you to stay the same
But I’m hoping that you will

‘Cause we’ve been down, down-hearted
Been up like the sun together in the morning
And I know that you’re the one

And your name’s been running all day long
Like a fountain in my mind
I’m hoping that you’ll want me
I need for you to need me
Hope that you will love me one more time
And I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Let Me Back Into Your Life CD.
