"On Discovering A Missing Person" lyrics - DANNY O'KEEFE

Blonde hair on my pillow
Lipstick on my shirt
A woman's picture on the wall
Of a memory that still hurts

Stabs just like a knife
That's been dulled from overuse
I can faintly hear her laughter
And the tone of her abuse

It always brings you down
To the same place in the end
A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again

I thought I was her partner
When I heard the song begin
I said, This dance is taken
When someone else cut in

I know I'm not much different
From any other man
We all believe in something
We cannot understand

Jealousy's a heavy price to pay
But damn the cost
Sometimes you don't know what you've found
Until you're lost

Don't know what it comes to
Don't expect I ever will
But the feelings that don't die inside
Are the ones you cannot kill

They'll always brings you down
To the same place in the end
A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again

And if I've really lost her
I'll start the search again
Longing for Love's waters
To wash me clean again

Take me to that river
I'm ready for the plunge
There ain't been much water lately
In my sponge
