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
