It's one whole year now since you left
And still the feeling of bereft
Hits me hard out of the blue
And i feel i should be calling you
With all this good news on my plate
Seems it came a year too late
It brought a smile surprised me too
And i feel i should be calling you.
The baby came and i was there
She has all her limbs but not a hair
Excuse me while i doff my hat
But i think i had a hand in that
On mondays she's got her mother's eyes
On tuesdays it's a compromise
On wednesdays she's like you know who
And i feel i should be calling you.
Bridge
I feel i should be calling you, sometimes the telephone is in my hand
Then i realise anew that there's no-one there at all, no footstep in the hall
It's a silence that's so hard to understand
The song went racing up the charts
Now that would have gladdened both your hearts
Up the long can, garvey's range
Something concrete for a change
So we threw a party and we hit the juice
You know the form the least excuse
It's sitting now at number two
And i feel i should be calling you.
Addend.
I meet your friends on mulgrave street
They move along on weary feet
They knew you so they know me too
And i feel i should be calling you.
