Kelly Willis - That'll Be Me lyrics

[ with Kevin Welch ]

Sometimes in the middle of the night I reach for you in my dreams

Then I lay awake till the morning light tired of remembering

The river runs wide here the river runs deep I'd give that river my soul to keep

If I could only finally sleep awhile

That'll be me howlin' in the wind

Every time I come across your tracks again

Tell me how long has it been since I've been free

If you see a fire on the mountain side

All around the places I used to hide

That'll be me that'll be me

[ mandolin ]

You and I we're gypsy born under the same old sign

If my tears for you are a thunderstorm my love is the sweet sunshine

You can't run far enough to ever quite outrun my love

I know who you're thinking of tonight

That'll be me walkin' through your mind

Talkin' to your heart most all the time

Stirring up memories of mine like a gentle breeze

If you hear somebody singin' you this song

Like they could sing it to you all night long

That'll be me that'll be me

[ steel ]

That'll be me howlin' in the wind

Every time I come across your tracks again

Tell me how long has it been since I've been free

If you hear somebody singin' you this song

Like they could sing it to you all night long

That'll be me that'll be me

That'll be me that'll be me
