Lyrics Every Time I Do - Marty Straub feat. Dave Bell

Comin' home one night... Or was it early the next day
I heard a peppered parakeet singin' songs my way
She was singing, she was groovin' and I stepped in time to keep in line. Oh yeah
And I learned her happy dance so I thought I'd take a chance once more with you
But every time I do I can still hear you slammin' doors sayin' we're through

Suddenly the Sun comes up and clouds my happy face
The sunny day was pushed away, slowin' down my pace
Then that birdie chased me down and she turned my gloomy frown around to a smile
When you bounced back to my mind you pushed that parakeet behind somewhere But She's there
Cuz every time you do I believe it's true. You don't care that she's there

I remember you and all the crazy things you'd do to stunt our stride
Now you walk alone, and you see how much I've grown without you by my side

Time goes by in time, and it's still without you here
Your sounds are muffled footsteps, but the budgie's song is clear
When that bird flew after me, I'll admit I couldn't see her flight that night
She was singing songs of glee when she circled over me. I sing along so strong
Every time I do I sometimes think of you but you're gone. So so long
Every time I do I never think of you cuz you're gone. So long
