Lying Here At 3
Max Stalling
A
I cannot begin to know
E
What it is that makes it so
D
Comfortable for me
To be lying here at three
A
In the afternoon with you
Lord knows I’ve got work to do
A name to make and things to prove
But every time I try
To whisper a goodbye
I find that it’s no use
Chorus:
D C#m D E
My life becomes a sigh
D7 C#m E
When I lie down next to you
Maybe it’s your sweet, warm touch
That seems to calm me down so much
Makes the lions at the gate
Have to mill around and wait
Till I’ve gained my strength from you
Chorus
I listen as the clock ticks on
And watch the sunlight’s rays grow long
Stretching cross the floor
As I’m lying here at four
In the afternoon with you
