Somewhere

Wear a warm coat 

When it's cold

And the north wind comes

To catch you old

I'll be somewhere watching

Through stars of glass

Your fate and mine

Stretched out on canvas

With colours splashed

In streaks of wild

Telling a story of gone summers

When I was a child

Your pretty feet dangling with mine

As we embraced the sun

In loops of laughter

Ready to break into a run

But now that the river has run dry

The horizon become brown

Do you still cast a spell

Or do you put on a frown

Thinking of fifty winters ago

When I packed my bags and left

While you stood chained

To your ground looking bereft

If there is a way out of this

I'll take it straight to you

Buy time off the shelves

To give you your due

But until you hear my footsteps

Remember us by the river

Counting pebbles of gold

In grey January shiver

And don't you forget

To wear a warm coat

When it's cold

And the north wind comes

To catch you old

Because I'll be somewhere watching
