Good Grief

My friend, my love, tell me, where did you go? With a smile like yours you could be anywhere That you’re happy and safe is all I hope But I just need to know that you’re there You took my smile when you went away But I still have yours right here I hope they can reunite some day ‘Cos all I’ve got is tears And I cry, because they dried too soon But their salty scars remain They weaved their way down my lost face Like valleys formed by rain Girl, you were gentle, you had so much fun Wrapped up in your fair skin Your brackeny hair was the talk of the town And you let nobody in Is being pretty such a sin? You took things from me, but you left me gold This gold I cannot use It stays locked up in my treasure house Where it beats away at my blues Yes, it beats away at my blues I may forget how much I’ve got When many days pass me by But I see your wealth everywhere And you’re always in my eye Tell me where you are my love, or tell me where you’ll be Please tell me where you are my love, I’d sail the seven seas. Wife, I know, you’re not coming back Yet there’s still so much to do I need to get things back on track But it’s hard ‘cos I still love you So girl, when I’ve done with life myself I know what I’m going to do You stay right there, with your brackeny hair I’m gonna come & sit right next to you.
