What Do I Do Written by Mark and recorded by Connie Champagne for her album "La Strada" released on Heyday Records in 1991. Never performed live by Mark. |
As the sun goes down And the buildings cool As the tide rolls out And the shadows pool You can still smell summer and the times gone dry I can still see summertime in your eye And if you marry when the sun goes down by the dawn You might find your lover gone On the borderline between the states and the great Northern waste There's a cataracht as big as the nighttime When the drain of living pulls you down Take a barrell and roll over the misty showers Raise your hands and give up on everything Find a place to throw your dreams Like old dead flowers What do I do What do I do without you The lovers love the mist Insubstantial as a little kiss Times like these bring us so very close to the edge of things So I'm left behind to watch the day melt away and move on You could say I'm left alone You're depatuture explodes into our hands like an 8 ball on a losing shot Rolls to the edge and it's gone What do I do What do I do without you Without you Without you. |
