Soul Sickness
(Dave Sills)
Dave Sills
Dave Sills: vocals, acoustic guitar
Standing on a corner and it’s pouring rain
Drops race down the window panes
Of the telephone booth I’m standing in
The door won’t close and the rain hits my skin
Scrounge through my pockets for my quarters and dimes
Need to hear her voice on the line
I drop in the coins they go jangle and jing
I dial up her number but it just rings and rings
And I feel like a half in a world of wholes
‘Cause I’ve got this sickness in my soul
I dial her again but I guess she’s not home
And I’ve never ever felt so alone
All I really needed was for her to say “hi”
Or to tell me everything is gonna be all right
Now I feel like a half in a world of wholes
And I’ve got this sickness in my soul
And I’m tired of being lonely, so tired of being afraid
But if I could hear her words it would start to end this pain
That’s in my soul - it’s way down inside
