Joel Garthy - Do You Feel Alright? Lyrics

For a long long time it's been silent without you here
It's been years since I held you by my side, my dear
Maybe these lines will help here

More than once I found myself so sad
I bet you surely did not expect that
Somewhere between high hopes and frustration
Between joy and sheer desolation
Between ritual greeting and farewell
I learned to write, but certainly not well
Perfectly adequate for my purpose
Are you sure you really deserve this?

For a long time I've been waiting on you
I was hoping to be ready when you call my name
I stayed awake long and lonely nights to remember every detail of my broken dream
So tell me, do you feel alright?

I always thought it's absurd when people told me I should learn to suppress
Suppress all my emotions
To shake off all this sadness that makes my life a mess
Now let me clear that for you:

I haven't touched you since and felt thirsty
And I was seized by deep melancholy
And if I ever put out a new tune
It'd be a desperate cry to the full moon
I always carried your promise inside me
Where it always remained, as you can see
The raging sea sucked in our desire
We were fighting fire with fire

For a long time I've been waiting on you
I was hoping to be ready when you call my name
I stayed awake long and lonely nights to remember every detail of my broken dream
So tell me, do you feel alright?

For a long time I've been waiting on you
I was hoping to be ready when you call my name
I stayed awake long and lonely nights to remember every detail of my broken dream
So tell me, do you feel alright?

Do you feel alright?
Do you feel alright?
Do you feel alright?
