Description
The song was inspired when, during a divorce, my friend's ex-wife disappeared without letting anyone know where she'd gone. The following weeks were hell not knowing where his daughter was or if she was even safe.
Lyrics
VERSE Put on the coffee and unlock the door / Turn all the lights back on / Put the cash tray in the drawer / For now it's quiet, I'll set the chairs back on the floor / The stars are growing dim / Out on the east side of the store I won't have to worry / 'bout the daycare check today / Just a tiny voice / Over and over I'll hear it say CHORUS Where are you now / Are you somewhere safe in bed / Did your mama tuck you in last night / Did she kiss your pretty head / Everynight I pray dear God / Help me carry on somehow / Maybe tomorrow I won't ask myself again / Where are you now? VERSE The lunch crowd is thinnin' out / Now its time head on home / I know it's quite there / So I'll just sit there eside the phone / Lately though it seems / Nobody calls to ask the news / It's only me with nothing left to lose There'll be no hassle when it's time to go to bed / I'll just fall asleep with this ole phone here beside my head CHORUS Where are you now / Are you somewhere safe in bed / Did your mama tuck you in last night / Did she kiss your precious head / Everynight I pray dear God / Help me carry on somehow / So tomorrow I won't ask myself ... again / Where are you now? BRIDGE I never wanted it to turn out this way / Lord I'd change things if I could / Don't think cause I'm a man / I'm free from pain somehow / The only thing I want to hear / Is where you are now?
