Story Behind the Song
If I ever got to cover one of my own songs I would pick this one. I actually wrote it for myself and all the lyrics are being spoken to myself. At the time I wrote this I really needed to do something for me. I’m not going to bore you with all that though…
Lyrics
I've been hiding like a child, I've been hanging out in seedy little places
I've been spending all my time confiding in some unfamiliar faces
Did you not see my eyes when I told you I'd be back for you baby?
I am coming by tonight and this time you cannot tell me maybe
I've been stuck down here for seven months with no one to tell about it
I've been dying to come back but my heart would not allow it
I need you to walk with me, all the way down Martin Street
And I don't care who I see, no one but you and me
I don't need nobody else but me
I've been crying all night long, I've been coverin' up with manufactured faces
I've been walkiing all alone, my shoes they are worn down to the laces
Did you not see my eyes when I told you I'd be back for you baby?
I am coming by tonight and this time I will not tell you maybe
I remember where you are but I don't know how I found it
but I'll be there tonight, there ain't no single way around it
I need you to walk with me, all the way down Martin Street
And I don't care who I see, no one but you and me
I don't need nobody else but me
I've been filling up the spot where my heart was with empty little spaces
I've been circling my block all night taking long and lonely places
Did you not see my eyes when I told you I'd be back for you baby?
I am coming by tonight and this time you cannot tell me maybe
I've been whispirin' your name all night but I'm just about to shout it
If I don't find you soon I'm gonna just forget all about it
I need you to walk with me, all the way down Martin Street
and I don't care who I see, all the way down Martin Street
No one but you and me, all the way down Martin Street
I don't need nobody else but me
