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