Jim Bows & the Flycatchers - The Name

A beautiful lady sits
Alone in a room
Writing letters to the
Man in the moon
But when she calls my name
I come running
She never speaks unless she's
Something to say
She's not about to waste the
Time of day
But when she calls my name
I come running
I keep a diary for my old age
Everyday I write another page
Gonna read it on a summers day
Many years from now
The dedication at the
Front of the book
Is to the reader for the
Trouble he took
And on the final page if he
Cares to look
I will print the name, the name
A dozen candles burn
Instead of the sun
And throw their shadow on the
Face of the nun
But when she calls my name
I come running
A marble table stands
Ready to hold
The mortal body of this
Heavenly ghost
But when she calls my name
I come running
I keep a diary for my old age
Everyday I write another page
Gonna read it on a summers day
Many years from now
The dedication at the
Front of the book
Is to the reader for the
Trouble he took
And on the final page if he
Cares to look
I will print the name, the name
Was she rich, was she poor
Was she anyone important
I know you're dying to learn
Was she really the witch
On a flying broomstick
That you're building a fire to burn
Well you'll just have to wait your turn
A beautiful lady lives her
Life on her own
After losing out to
Fate early on
But when she calls my name
I come running
A big house standing
High on the hill
And everybody thinks that she's
Terminally ill
But when she calls my name
I come running
I keep a diary for my old age
Everyday I write another page
Gonna read it on a summers day
Many years from now
The dedication at the
Front of the book
Is to the reader for the
Trouble he took
And on the final page if he
Cares to look
I will print the name
I think it's gonna be a
Big surprise
The revelations's gonna
Crack a few smiles
But when the dust has settled
Back on the ground
Life will keep breathing on
We'll see another box
Descend down below
Make a silent prayer then quietly go
As we talk amongst ourselves once again
Will anyone remember
Remember the name
The name, the name
Remember the name
The name, the name
Remember the name
The name, the name
The name, the name
Remember the name
The name, the name
The name, the name
Remember the name
