Missed your shining eyes
Missed your rainbow smile
Fireside exaggerations
Your so much to say
It was alright, I had all day
Fine detail tricky situations
Something somebody told me this afternoon
I had to call to see if you were alright
Got me all in a panic but refocused too
I had to call to see if you were alright
Faces from the past
When did we meet last?
Different times, different occasions?
Never be again?
What has rained has rained?
Different times but same persuasions?
Something somebody told me this afternoon
I had to call to see if you were alright
Got me all in a panic but refocused too
I had to call to see if you were alright
Your stories have changed over years
I'm glad; they're still great to hear
And long may they endeavour
I'd say you're looking fine
I'll have that drink if you don't mind
Nuts and bolts to keep us together
Something somebody told me this afternoon
I had to call to see if you were alright
Got me all in a panic but refocused too
I had to call to see if you were alright
Something somebody told me this afternoon
I had to call to see if you were alright
Got me all in a panic but refocused too
I had to call to see if you were alright
