Again

lyrics

Just beyond the shadow of an oak hanging low
Is the sheet white outline looking like someone I used to know
Maybe I should wave, or just keep very still
Dunno if it is really them, don't know I ever will

Salutations to you, I don't know how to behave
All my love n longings stuck on this side of the grave
I'm thinking that you're listening and I'm hoping that you know
The joy I feel when you are near before I watch you go. Again.

I'll take mine slow. Old dogs lie low.

I'll meet you in the solace of a silent moment
Moments alone when we commune
Where missing you is prologue and we carry on together
Like an empty seat on a morning flight

I could hear you laugh if I weren't too afraid to try. Again.
