about

The first track on my remastered and reordered album, AwayDay, is a song about relationship difficulties and how, especially when you are young, breaking up and getting back together is all part of the game.

lyrics

AWAYDAY

Baby, baby, we've got to sit down and talk
Maybe, baby, you've got a feeling about me
I've got some news, it's bad not good
Better listen like you know you should

I'm not going to be here forever you know
You got to realise that it's time to go

I'm telling you I've got to leave the town today
And real soon I'll be far, far away
But the ticket I bought is a return
Sometimes I think I'll never, ever learn

I'm not going to be here forever you know
You got to realise that it's time to go

Every time it ends we say a last goodbye
I make the break but you're laughing as the train pulls out
For you know I'll come back before time has passed me by
I'm not the kind to leave

Baby, baby, your time will come
You'll be laughing to an empty room
You'll rely on me once too often, dear
You'll wake up and I'll be nowhere near
Your hands will grasp into a vacant space
You'll give anything just to see my face

I'm not going to be here forever you know
You got to realise that it's time to go

Every time it ends we say a last goodbye
I make the break but you're laughing as the train pulls out
For you know I'll come back before time has passed me by
I'm not the kind to leave
