Come Calling (His Song) Lyrics


The stillness here like what he sometimes finds inside her
Hits so hard it can steal your breath forever
He sometimes wonders is the sum of their lives together
Him on the floor and her lost to a mind in tattersThese days he's drinking for the pleasure of falling
And he's falling for the pleasure of pretending
That she's sitting by the window waiting
For him to come callingIf I could fix me up a week of twilight hours
We'd sit on the point and watch the sun continually flounder
Bathed in gold we'd plug into some kind of power
And connect with those days back before all of this went sour'Cause I'm drinking for the pleasure of falling
And I'm falling for the pleasure of pretending
That you're sitting by the window waiting
For me to come callingOdd how the darkness always makes us whisper
With the last of the sun you can feel the approach of the winter
And now is the time of each day that I Desperately miss her
I suppose I will learn how to live my life without herSo you're drinking for the pleasure of falling
And you're falling for the pleasure of pretending
'Cause I'm sitting by the window waiting

For you to come calling, come callingFor you to come calling, come calling
For you to come calling, come calling
For you to come calling, come calling
...

The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
