I'm not sad, as you say
I'm not sad, as you've been
Now I've got a distant friend to meet
I've been waiting for a call
And there she is again
For a word and a glass on a rainy day
I'm not bad, as you say
I'm not bad, as you've been
Since I waited for the rhymes to change
Never got such acting repertoire
So there she is again
For a hand and the imprudence of a different gaze
Leave there your crowds, listen to me
I'm not longing for your kind of peace
I'm not mad, as you see
I'm not mad, as they said
I just need the words to tell my days
And a friend to clean my dreams
And there she is again
With a smile and the memory of a summer date
Now I've got a distant friend to meet
I've been waiting for a call
And there she is again
For a wish and a hope on a bluesy night
