After The Storm

I was down and out in a restless way

Wandering thru an endless space,

Nowhere to go no place in this world

No escape from my own avalon.

But there you were, like a ghost in the mist

Wasn't real but too close for me

Oh! i heard those words again and again

We had a chance, but now that's gone.

Then that phone call with your voice

And you said hi, how are you?

After the storm, i was feeling so low

After losing you, babe, i had nowhere to go

After wasting a thousand coins

In the phone on your street,

Waiting for a change to say how sorry i was

And when i gave it up you made that call.

All night long, no especial words

But the truth was on the air,

We talked and we laughed and we took away

All the fears that we were carrying.

And i can count, with the fingers of one hand

Days like today in our time,

And i liked the way you said at the end

So long my friend.
