Revisited

The Bear Quartet

Sad to hear that you're back 
Visiting your friends and family 
Knocked off someone's baseball cap 
Picked it up and said "I'm sorry" 
Already tired of this summer's carnival 
It's top hot and I feel I'll 
Among all these people 
I hate to wonder were you are 

And they all say: 
"sometimes you have to be lonesome 
To know when you're the loved one" 
And they always say to much 
No matter how deep it cuts 

If ever the train was waiting 
If ever your suitcase was taking 
Another little life 
Then things could've worked out fine 
And I would be the one 
Walking with you in the harbour 
And someone else would stand here thinking: 
"there goes half a lovely couple" 

And they all say: 
"you need the lonely to feel homey" 
And they always say to much 
And words can't work as my crutch 

Sad to see you back 
Wondering where my friends are at
