After the Storm

LETRA

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.
