You Only Disappear Lyrics
Close my eyes, I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone, your radio
Baby I'll call up a storm and keep you safe from harm
But you only, you only disappear
I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool
But this is all I can say, I have lost my way
But you only, you only disappear
With a word, with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
It's raining now on royal street
And I'd walk to you if I could trust my feet
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone, your radio
Baby I'll call up a storm and keep you safe from harm
But you only, you only disappear
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool
But this is all I can say, I have lost my way
But you only, you only disappear
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
And I'd walk to you if I could trust my feet

I always have this image of some mysterious figure that was in his life. He realizes to late that there could have been something there and he missed it. He'd do anything to get that back but has finally come to terms that it won't ever happen.
I've certainly found that feeling in my life so I relate deeply to it. Especially the lonely imagery of the falling snow.
Amazing song, more people should know about Tom McRae.
And I'd walk to you if I could trust my feet
LOVE that line.
Great song. It's obviously about losing someone. On the one hand he sings he can live with his regrets and still raise a smile, but in the end he confesses that he would run back to her if only he was brave enough.
