Babe I’ve Been Too Busy Crying. FAWM22 #16
Words/music by JAG Delaney
Verse 1
In the long list of stupid questions
I have heard from my own lips
No 1 is I’d Like to know your thoughts?
on where we’re going with all this
I’m afraid you’re cutting out;
the signal’s poor no doubt
Couldn’t hear a word of your goodbye down the line
Babe I’’ve been too busy crying
Verse 2
I’m barely managing silent:
so don’t expect me to do strong
My heart was on autopilot
for a mountainside all long
Rumours get around ;
about how you’re gonna let me down
Couldn’t hear a word of your goodbye down the line
Babe I’ve been too busy crying
CHORUS
All these tears baby
are they no good to you?
For washing away the memory
of the days now drowned in blue
All these tears are nothing
In the wider eyes of the world
But right now they’re all I know
Oh No don’t worry I’m not dying
Babe I’ve been far too busy crying
Verse 3
I bring my own darkness along
to keep me company
Extinguish the light of experience;
it’s all too bad you see
When pain is this profound ;
I wear the smile of a first class clown
Couldn’t Hear a word of your goodbye down the line
Babe I’ve Been Too Busy Crying
CHORUS
All these tears baby
are they no good to you?
For washing away the memory
of the days now drowned in blue
All these tears are nothing
In the wider eyes of the world
But right now they’re all I know
Oh No don’t worry I’m not dying
Babe I’ve been far too busy crying
Babe I’ve been far too busy crying
Babe I’ve been far too busy crying

Lyrically and structurally this definitely bespeaks country/folk/Americana. Hopefully your music is still coming along for it!
