Somebody to Lean On
I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky
'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you. - Colin Hay
I suppose that what she told me is everything I didn't want, everything I already knew, and everything I needed to hear. When people are lost in transition, I guess it just takes a lot of patience and time to really jump in. I'm done being emotional about this girl. All that is different this time is I know I just need to hang on. This means there are no shots to call, there are no numbers to dial, but there are many days to waste. Although I am filled with anxiety and misery, its good to know that there is more to come... and happiness awaits us both.
