You're Still Alive In My Head

It just started raining, your grandkids are playing

We're waiting, we'll be eating soon

Wood stove is burning, my typewriter's learning

The only thing missing is you

I couldn't say, so I sat 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

And 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 sat 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 write?

I'll get in my car and drive to wherever you are

Call me on the phone

It's taking way too long, way too long

I couldn't say, so I sat down to write it instead

I'm afraid, if you stay away I might forget

So I sat down to write it instead

I'm afraid, if you stay away I might forget

You're still alive in my head

I've 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
