| It just started raining, your grandkids are playing
|
| We’re waiting, we’ll be eating soon
|
| The woodstove is burning, my typewriter’s learning
|
| The only thing missing is you
|
| I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead
|
| I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget
|
| You’re still alive in my head
|
| I’m thinking about buying an old house
|
| I’m trying to fix it but I could use some help
|
| A home with a garden, they say it’s a bargain
|
| But I, I can’t do it myself
|
| I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead
|
| I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget
|
| You’re still alive in my head
|
| And when will you arrive
|
| I’ll get in my car and drive to wherever you are
|
| They call me on the phone
|
| It’s taking way too long, way too long
|
| I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead
|
| I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget
|
| So I set down to write it instead
|
| I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget
|
| You’re still alive in my head
|
| I got two of my own, and a third will be born
|
| In november, you would be proud of me
|
| So much has changed since you left
|
| It feels strange, it’s already 1983 |
