I know what you'd say
But aren't here to say it
They tell me that you're in me now
But I don't always recognise the you in them
And besides
I can't hear your voice
On the end of the line
Saying my name
With joy and surprise
I wade into the sea for you
Someone should feel
The water's cool on this beautiful day
Memories tug at my hands like kite strings
If I whisper the right words maybe they'll fly
I know what you'd say
But you aren't here to say it
There's a tiger in your garden
And a whole orchestra in your living room
And as I wake
I feel your finger tips on my shoulder
So much impossibility
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
I know what you'd say
But you aren't here to say it
I hear you softly sighing
Reminding me it was your time
And telling me to watch out
For those puffy little clouds
Cos that's you and Barbara
In heaven, getting high
I wade into the sea for you
Someone should feel
The water's cool on this beautiful day
Memories tug at my hands like kite strings
If I whisper the right words maybe they'll fly
I know what you'd say
But you aren't here to say it
They tell me that you're in me now
But I don't always recognise the you in them
And besides, I can't hear your voice
On the end of the line
On the end of the line
