The Name Lyrics

A beautiful lady sits

Alone in a room

Writing letters to the

Man in the moon

But when she calls my name

I come running

She never speaks unless she's

Something to say

She's not about to waste the

Time of day

But when she calls my name

I come running

I keep a diary for my old age

Everyday I write another page

Gonna read it on a summers day

Many years from now

The dedication at the

Front of the book

Is to the reader for the

Trouble he took

And on the final page if he

Cares to look

I will print the name, the name

A dozen candles burn

Instead of the sun

And throw their shadow on the

Face of the nun

But when she calls my name

I come running

A marble table stands

Ready to hold

The mortal body of this

Heavenly ghost

But when she calls my name

I come running

I keep a diary for my old age

Everyday I write another page

Gonna read it on a summers day

Many years from now

The dedication at the

Front of the book

Is to the reader for the

Trouble he took

And on the final page if he

Cares to look

I will print the name, the name

Was she rich, was she poor

Was she anyone important

I know you're dying to learn

Was she really the witch

On a flying broomstick

That you're building a fire to burn

Well you'll just have to wait your turn

A beautiful lady lives her

Life on her own

After losing out to

Fate early on

But when she calls my name

I come running

A big house standing

High on the hill

And everybody thinks that she's

Terminally ill

But when she calls my name

I come running

I keep a diary for my old age

Everyday I write another page

Gonna read it on a summers day

Many years from now

The dedication at the

Front of the book

Is to the reader for the

Trouble he took

And on the final page if he

Cares to look

I will print the name

I think it's gonna be a

Big surprise

The revelations's gonna

Crack a few smiles

But when the dust has settled

Back on the ground

Life will keep breathing on

We'll see another box

Descend down below

Make a silent prayer then quietly go

As we talk amongst ourselves once again

Will anyone remember

Remember the name

The name, the name

Remember the name

The name, the name

Remember the name

The name, the name

The name, the name

Remember the name

The name, the name

The name, the name

Remember the name
