I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash Cover) Lyrics

Iris DeMent

At my door the leaves are falling
and a cold, wild wind soon will come
Sweethearts walk by together
and I still miss someone
Well, I never got over those blue eyes
and I see them everywhere
and I miss those arms that held me
when all the love was there
Well, I go out on a party
and I look for a little fun
but I find a darkened corner
'cause I still miss someone
Well, I never got over those blue eyes
and I see them everywhere
and I miss those arms that held me
when all the love was there
Well, I wonder if he's sorry
for leaving what we had become
Well, there's someone for me somewhere
but I still miss someone
Well, I never got over those blue eyes
and I see them everywhere
and I miss those arms that held me
when all the love was there
