Q&A
Waiting for Delmore Lyrics
Verse]
It's like brushing your teeth in public
Or being kissed in a dream by a stranger in white shoes
I get so confused
Delmore's no longer in the shower
No longer in stated milk
No longer making a fuss
Telephone calls come
Asking if he is home
They hang up before I can answer
I get so melancholy when I think of his good points
How he knew what each piece of silverware was for
How he could light a match using only one hand
His talent on grinding his teeth in his sleep
Clacking out a calypso rhythm that would send me tapping into the living room
Oh delmore, delmore your comic books still come in the mail
The oatmeal I make for you each morning turns green well before noon
The shoebox whimpers when it recalls your feet
And I miss you (Miss you, Miss you, Miss you)
It's like brushing your teeth in public
Or being kissed in a dream by a stranger in white shoes
I get so confused
Delmore's no longer in the shower
No longer in stated milk
No longer making a fuss
Asking if he is home
They hang up before I can answer
How he knew what each piece of silverware was for
How he could light a match using only one hand
His talent on grinding his teeth in his sleep
Clacking out a calypso rhythm that would send me tapping into the living room
The oatmeal I make for you each morning turns green well before noon
The shoebox whimpers when it recalls your feet
And I miss you (Miss you, Miss you, Miss you)
