Fall of '82

[Verse 1] I do relate to you in so many ways But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days You had to be strong at such a very young age A new life on Ilima Lane [Chorus] So won't you listen to me now? There's something I never told you, and I'm about to try See, you were my lifeline when the world was exploding [Verse 2] You moved back in with us in the Fall of '82 I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through You told me that a downturn will eventually improve And you were right, so I'm thanking you [Chorus] So won't you listen to me now? There's something I never told you, and I'm about to try See, you were my lifeline when the world was exploding Footholds eroding Had you never been my friend I wouldn't be quite what you see I wouldn't be the man I am [Bridge] Sister you’ve known me (Sister you've known me) Lost in a strange world (Sister you've known me) What has it shown me? (Sister you've known me) What has it unfurled? (Sister you've known me) Sister you’ve known me (Sister you've known me) Been lost in a strange world (Sister you've known me) But what has it shown me? (Sister you've known me) What has it unfurled? (Sister you've known me) [Verse 3] October chill in that old dusty town Halloween came I was still feeling down Mom, I lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round? Your boy is losing count Maybe try the lost and found
