The sea was rollin' in slate gray I looked at you and I looked away I was cryin' Because I was happy
I didn't want you to see I was afraid of such mystery And afraid of losing So afraid of losing
Later on on a balcony We had a good talk and we felt free I was comin' to you from far away Light was dim but you showed me the way In your arms all I could say was Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
My heart was torn I'd made up my mind I'd keep to myself and just be kind And need nothing Just need nothing
Love my folks my kids my friends And make it on through to the end No more suffering Over loving
You get to me like old time religion did In my heart when I was a kid You're sweet gospel music to my ears You know how to ease all my fears And from my heart to yours all I can say is Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
And as we go on through the deal I I know that we won't always feel Real wonderful Life ain't like that
But I want to stay right by your side Check out the view enjoy the ride Together With all our loved ones
I want to plant a little garden with you now Take care of a piece of the earth somehow And tend it when we're old and gray and Try to straighten up and say, well, I'm so glad to see you today Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey Lyrics taken from <a href="http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/greg-brown-lyrics/hey-baby-hey-lyrics.html" rel="nofollow">this page</a>
