I`m Still Here

I got your postcard from Tangiers I read it in the rain I haven’t heard from you in years How time can slip away

I felt a sadness in your words Beneath the bright veneer A faint cry of a wounded bird You might have hoped I’d hear

If you need help or need a hand If life has thrown you spears If you need somewhere safe to land Remember I’m still here

I lost your trail on Bleecker Street You vanished in the crowd I know that night was bittersweet We both were much too proud

You’ve always lived inside of me A ghost that won’t depart A strange unfinished symphony That wanders through my heart

If you need help or need a hand If life has thrown you spears If you need somewhere safe to land Remember I’m still here That same old river that you swam Remember I’m still here
