Don’t Hug Me Now – Mark Bishop Evans – 02012023

Friends that I saw yesterday wondered where you’ve been
I told them you were working out of town
I couldn’t find the words to say what I don’t understand
Or give them reasons I still haven’t found

Well, I spent the morning packing up the things that all are yours,
and putting my things back the way they were
I hope that I found everything, I went through every drawer,
but it was awful hard to see things through the blur

Chorus
Don’t hug me now, don’t try to kiss my cheek
Don’t make this hard, harder than it has to be
Don’t touch my hand, not while I’m still weak
Don’t hug me now, just take your things and leave

I was quite content and happy living on my own,
with wind and music filling up my days
At night I’d go and find a place to sing a song or two,
drink with friends and laugh the night away
Bridge

Then one night you walked up to me and leaned against my side
And looked up with those eyes so big and blue
It was months ‘til I found out and imagine my surprise
It’s the kind of thing that you were often known to do

So, now you’re standing on the porch, and you’ve come to get your things
and I’m still trying to figure out just why
You tried hard to explain it but then that’s just who you are,
but still it hurts to watch you say goodbye.

Chorus
