You're Still Alive in My Head - Milow

It just started raining, your grandkids are playing

We’re waiting, we’ll be eating soon

The woodstove is burning, my typewriter’s learning

The only thing missing is you

I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead

I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget

You’re still alive in my head

I’m thinking about buying an old house

I’m trying to fix it but I could use some help

A home with a garden, they say it’s a bargain

But I, I can’t do it myself

I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead

I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget

You’re still alive in my head

And when will you arrive

I’ll get in my car and drive to wherever you are

They call me on the phone

It’s taking way too long, way too long

I couldn’t say so I set down to write it instead

I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget

So I set down to write it instead

I’m afraid, if you stay away I might forget

You’re still alive in my head

I got two of my own, and a third will be born

In november, you would be proud of me

So much has changed since you left

It feels strange, it’s already 1983
