How Are You? (feat. Nellie McKay) [2023 Remaster]

How are you?
I'm learnin' English
You're lookin' good
It's so hot today
We should keep in touch
Oh, you better be going
It's a long, long way
To your uncle's place

I got a job
It's just okay
And how's your dad?
It's hard to say
I miss you all
It's been so long
And who can say
Where love has gone

And your life
Is just beginning
And my life
Is almost doomed
I've given up
Never finished school
That was too much
Too much work to do

How are you?
Shall we get a soda?
You're lookin' good
It's so hot today
We should keep in touch
Oh, you better be going
It's a long, long way
To your uncle's place

I was right there
Lyin' with your mother
And her last words
'Fore she passed away
Did they tell you
About the promise?
Should I ask you?
Tell me what they say

And there's no way
That you could help me
If you're barely
Better off than I
You're groovin'
Singin' like an angel
We're together
For both our lives

How are you?
Well, I'm okay
You're lookin' good
It's hot today
I miss you all
It's been so long
And who can tell
Where love has gone

I really liked
This conversation
It was long ago
You were just a child
It's gettin' late
I must be going
Life is hard sometimes
But I'll be alright

How are you?
Oh, I'm okay
This is a nice place
It's so hot today

How are you?
Oh, I'm okay
This is a nice place
It's so hot today
