He woke and he cried out, but nobody came
Wondering why, he wasn't home yet
Are you there, can you hear me, are you there
The store door was swingin' in a midnight breeze
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there, can you hear me, are you there
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Try to get over and try to get on
She doesn't know what they'll do now, now that he's gone
She wanted him to see this, she wanted him there
Lost in the moment of what he needs
The tree that they planted has started to bloom
Looked down through the darkness and counted the cash
She wanted to kiss him and brush back his hair
You ran past the motel, threw his gun in the trash
The man at the store was trying to stand
Their baby was sleeping until the telephone rang
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Looked up through the white light and reached out his hand
In the spin of the red lights, they covered his face
He had a wife who was waiting, watching TV in bed
Lost in the moment of what he needs
And another man ran through the dark and the trees
Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what she needs
The ambulance arrived, but it was too late
