lyrics

LOOKING FOR THE MISSING

I ask the man
what do you do?
he must know what I mean
he says
“I check my mailbox for missing persons
you know those cards that ask
have you seen me?
I study the faces
and picture the places I’ve been to of late.”
he smiled as he tapped his head and said
“I use this computer to generate
the time-lapsed faces
the missing clues and traces
then I get in my car
and I drive.”

I ask the woman
how do you do?
‘cause I like the way that sounds
and she must know what I mean
she looks at me without a trace
of understanding on her face
then she looks right past me
I’m waiting for her to answer me
we’re looking for the missing

sweetheart, I ask
what should we do
to keep this love of ours
from disappearing
we could lock the doors
and stay in bed
but when the food runs out
how we gonna get fed?

looking for the Holy Grail
or at least a grail-shaped beacon
looking for someone to tell
the secrets your heart has been keeping

I ask my mother
what would you do
if you could do it all over again
she understands the question
like so many her girl has asked
she holds me in her arms
her smile holds just a little sadness
she doesn’t have to answer
doesn’t have to say a thing
she’s looking for the missing
just like me
