This Time Last Year

(For Warwick and Ian)

 

This time last year I was alone

I can’t believe how far we’ve come

Never going to be the next big thing

But time has changed so many things

I didn’t know that I’d be standing here

This time last year

 

This time tomorrow meet me there

And if there’s any time to spare

We’ll be running through the numbers while they’re

Putting out the candles on the tables and then

Turning down the lights

Tomorrow night…

 

All the years I worked in corners

As if I’d known it all along

You’d come all this way just for the

Love of someone else’s song

 

You know how sometimes years go by

Then suddenly from clear blue sky

You turn around to find that something’s changed

That you can’t explain

 

This time last year I was alone

I’d seen strangers come and strangers go

If I’d known then what I know now

If you could have told me then somehow

It would have been like music to my ears - I’d no idea

This time last year
