Get Here

Irma Thomas


You can reach me 
By railway
You can reach me 
By trailway
You can reach me 
On an airplane
You can reach me 
With your mind

You can reach me 
By a caravan
Cross the desert 
Like an Arab man
I don't care how 
You get here
Get here 
If you can

You can reach me 
By sailboat
Climb a tree 
And swing 
Rope to rope
Take a sled 
And slide 
Down the slope
Into these arms 
Of mine

You can jump 
On a speedy colt
Cross the border 
In a blaze of hope
I don't care how 
You get here
Get here 
If you can

There are hills 
And mountains 
Between us
Always something 
To get over
If I had my way
Surely you 
Would be closer
I need you closer

There are hills 
And mountains 
Between us
Always something 
To get over
If I had my way 
Surely you 
Would be closer
I need you closer

You can windsurf 
Into my life
Take me up 
On a carpet ride
You can make it 
In a big balloon
But you better 
Make it soon

You can reach me 
By caravan
Cross the desert 
Like an Arab man
I don't care 
How you get here
Get here 
If you can

I don't care 
I don't care
I need you 
Right here 
Right now
I need you 
Right here 
Right now 
Right 
By my side
Yeah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah 
Oh
I don't care how 
You get here
Get here 
If you can
