Just to Talk

Not just words, can reveal
The way someone really feels
Make some time, just be there
Make some tea pull up a chair
It all helps, makes some room, just to talk

Why did I, never say
How I feel before today
Grab a stool, by the bar
Or get cosy by the fire
Say the things, we never said, lets just talk

I was young, didn't know
Who you were or where you'd go
In the fields, soldiers roamed
Through your country Rookwood home
Now you're gone, what I'd give, just to talk

Love was lost, long ago
But it never stopped the flow
What we had, but let go
Still some things I'd love to know
Speculate, if we could, could just talk

My brother, we've outgrown
The place we still call our home
In my youth, I would run
Run to try to keep up with you
We don't run, anymore, can we talk?

Little child, what can I
Say to you to help you through
All the best, and the worst
Things you'll love will make you hurt
Just know I'm here when you need to talk
It all helps, make some room, just to talk
