Were You There?
Let's start at the top
I heard you're back in the game, or something much the same, should I stop?
Cause it's going to cause offense if I break the confidence or not
And depending where I stand or the weapon in your hand that you've got
If you going to take a swing then I really don't care a whole lot
I've been waiting here so long, there's much of us I've forgot
Does it mean nothing to you now, did you really go and lose the whole plot
Man I'm holding up my hands and I'm wait for your best shot
So tell me were you there?
Cause I always felt there was something left hanging in the air
No I never really knew so tell me were you there?
It was nothing I can touch but I always wondered, did you care?
About holding on for life being something that we all shared
No, I never really knew so tell me were you there?
So give me some good news
I've been fighting you for years, I'm none the wiser - still confused
It may mean nothing to you now but you and I lit that fuse
Now I'm trying to put it out for the healing of an old bruise
And where we've ended up is that something that you'd now choose?
Cause I'm singing for my supper or trying to re-write the Blues
I had enough of that when you and I were front-page news
So tell it to my face and put me in a place I can use
Tell me were you there?
Cause I always felt there was something left hanging in the air
No I never really knew so tell me were you there?
It was nothing I can touch but I always wondered, did you care?
About holding on for life being something that we all shared
No, I never really knew so tell me were you there?
I heard you're back in the game, or something much the same, should I stop?
Cause it's going to cause offense if I break the confidence or not
And depending where I stand or the weapon in your hand that you've got
If you going to take a swing then I really don't care a whole lot
I've been waiting here so long, there's much of us I've forgot
Does it mean nothing to you now, did you really go and lose the whole plot
Man I'm holding up my hands and I'm wait for your best shot
So tell me were you there?
Cause I always felt there was something left hanging in the air
No I never really knew so tell me were you there?
It was nothing I can touch but I always wondered, did you care?
About holding on for life being something that we all shared
No, I never really knew so tell me were you there?
So give me some good news
I've been fighting you for years, I'm none the wiser - still confused
It may mean nothing to you now but you and I lit that fuse
Now I'm trying to put it out for the healing of an old bruise
And where we've ended up is that something that you'd now choose?
Cause I'm singing for my supper or trying to re-write the Blues
I had enough of that when you and I were front-page news
So tell it to my face and put me in a place I can use
Tell me were you there?
Cause I always felt there was something left hanging in the air
No I never really knew so tell me were you there?
It was nothing I can touch but I always wondered, did you care?
About holding on for life being something that we all shared
No, I never really knew so tell me were you there?
