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.
