God, It's Good To See You  Again

      Words and Music: Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute

Man, I forgot what pleasure was – like food after a fast
like the tight drag on a cigarette you’re gonna make your last
You fill my doorway unexpected
entrance stage left, undirected
looking like you’ve never been away

and wearing that kind of smile you keep for suspect friends
hugging your arms across your chest like you’ve something to defend
and looking kinda crumpled from the rain
God, it’s good to see you again.

[Bridge]
I’m just about to touch you but my pride is in there first
and it’s throwin' up the barricades though my heart’s about to burst
and all the things I want to say
are brushed aside and swept away
by all the answers that I never got

but what good is temptation if you never let it win
if it’s rip-tide or it’s quicksand if you never learned to swim
now I hear my voice and it’s callin' out your name
God, it’s good to see you again.

[Bridge]
Take me to that other place
where we used to go
take me back to what we had
and what we used to know
take me where it all made sense
and yes was never no
take me to that time gone by
My Stranger-Friend – Hello!

Hush, folk’ll hear you cryin – or maybe those tears are mine
It all got a little het up….. let’s try now to unwind
and all the things I want to say
are coming out a different way
it’s like I hear them too for the first time…
And truth’s a funny kind of thing
it rocks and blocks your mind
when you dare to look more closely
there’s a hundred truths you find
and a thousand more to make and break your pain

[Break]

God, it’s good to see you again.
God, it’s good to see you again (good to see you again.)                                                                                                                                                      .[Instrumental]
