Here Am I by Frankie Mac

Lyrics

HERE AM I


Here am I holding my heart in pain
Here am I left standing in the rain
And there you are walking away again
Called it a day again
Didn’t want to stay my friend
There are you but where am I


Here am I all alone once more
Here am I wondering what life’s for
And there are you walking out the door
Just like you did before
Don’t love me anymore
There you are but where am I


Here am I the fool on the hill
A virgin on the pill
A life without a point
A limb without a joint
Here am I but where are you


Here am I struggling on
Here am I wondering what went wrong
And there are you saying so long
Singing a solo song
Standing there then suddenly gone
There you are but where am I


Here am I a day without a start
A love without a heart
A song without a rhyme
A villain without a crime
A story without an end
A love that I can’t send
A heart that’ll never mend
Here am I but where are you
Here am I but where are you

Bio

Frankie, at the sprightly age of 67, has been around the music scene for 50 years. From starting off forming a punk band before punk came into the mainstream, he’s crossed boundaries and genres through rock, metal, folk and country. Throughout the years originality was key, playing his own songs rather than traditional covers.
Now mellowed, he presents for you lyrics that touch the soul and emotions.
Look, read, appreciate and enjoy the words of Frankie Mac…….
