I'm such a sheep where the obsse is involved. here is 
my contribution to James Taylor week. But let it be 
known that, despite appearances, I'm not deserting 
the Indigo Girls. They cover this song, which I think 
ought to count for something.

Mulder's All Gone
(formerly "daddy's all gone")

I know it's a cliche
but I wish I knew the way
to get him to pay attention
to the things I say
instead of ditching me, oh

Yeah, I find it irksome
I'm frustrated to the core
I know all the excuses
I've heard'em all before
it's time to change his old ways

Mulder's all gone
and he's switched off his phone
listening to the dial tone
saying "please turn the damn thing on"

When we see an unmarked tank truck*
or a suspicion train
well then he tosses me a blank look
and then he's gone again
it seems to happen all the time

And now I'm stranded in a meeting
with a pissed-off A.D.
a sharp "where's Mulder?" my sole greeting
and all the blame's on me
think I'd like to kill him, maybe

Mulder's all gone
and he's switched off his phone
I'm standing there with the dead air all a-drone
saying "please turn the damn thing on"

*the rhyme works if you pronounce it "trook". work with me.
