Sometimes my baby goes away
In the blink of an eye on an ordinary day
I'm right there beside her but all at a loss
No way to reach her, no way to get across

Was it something I did? Was it something I said?
She lies on the bed with her face to the wall
Oh, it's breaking my heart and it's doing my head
To see her tumble and fall

Sometimes my baby takes a little trip
She gives me no warning, just gives me the slip
I hold her and kiss her and whisper her name
But she's somewhere else, I'm right out of the frame

Oh, it's nothing I've done and it's nothing I've said
Nothing to do with my loving at all
I wish I could take out the knives in her head
Like a stone in a pond she falls

I listen all night to the sound of the sea
The tide inches out and the tide inches in
I follow the moon sinking down through the trees
Until she rises again
