This ache that follows you down   From wherever you both came from   Well, it won't leave quietly   It just waits here noisily with me      I turn to go but quite instead   It sinks its fangs into my head   And gnaws upon me like a greedy bone   The fragrant scent of parts unknown      I try my best but it gets worse   And fearful of this blessed curse   The moon is full, I feel my teeth   My instincts give no sympathy for me      All I want is to stay here with you   For at least a couple of minutes more   In your front seat by any reason, I can find   My right foot still dangling out your door      This ache that follows you down   From wherever you both came from   Well, it won't leave quietly   It just waits here noisily with me      The pots and pans and bare assed bones   Would have me feeling all alone   But never fear the ache is there   And calmly, he pulls up a chair      And through the night we play some hands   While the ache, he issues his demands   Yeah, the ache, he issues his demands   And I'm like Custer at his lemonade stand      And all I have is this ache   Just to see you again   Though I've got no pretext to   And hope won't quench my thirst this time   Can't you see that I'm aching for you?      I go to sleep when I awake   In the kitchen is my ache   He cooks me breakfast ties my shoes   Puts in the time, he pays my dues      He sticks a needle in my eye   And haunts me like some tragic lie   Reminds me 'til I bend to break   That I've been given the gift of      This ache that followed you down   From wherever you both came from   Well, it won't leave quietly   It just waits here noisily with me      This ache that followed you down   From wherever you both came from      This ache that followed you down   From wherever you both came from   Well, it won't leave quietly   It just waits here noisily with me
