sacred ties

music and lyrics by j. baugher

D Am Em7 A

you left me with no warning
and I’ve been mourning most every day
I need someone to cure me
and to assure me that it’s okay

I wish that I could reach you
so I could tell you how much I care
but every time I dial
your phone number, no one’s there

and I just can’t forget you
even though I often try
how cruel of you to leave
without saying goodbye

    CHORUS

    Gm7 F#m7 E7
    and I’ve been drowning in my sorrow
    I know I won’t see you tomorrow
    and though our sacred ties are severed
    I know I can’t cry forever

and now that I have lost you
I need someone to talk to so that I can deal
though I’m sorting my emotions
all I want to know is how I’m s’posed to feel

I’m taking applications
seeking a replacement for you
but these are stringent standards
not just anyone will do

    CHORUS
