lyrics

How have you been, it’s quite a while, it’s been too long
How goes the world with you, what’s new since I’ve been gone?
Well I just called to say I’m fine
On Bondi Beach on Christmas Day the sky is clear
The summer sun would warm your heart if you were here
If you would only change your mind

You’re half a world away from where you ought to be
And when I dream at night it’s only you I see
Over and over I run to your call but you’re not there at all
There’s no one there at all

The work is hard, the days are long but the money’s good
I’ll probably set up on my own, I know I could
Or maybe wait another year
When darkness falls I sit alone and think of you
And search for anything that I could say or do
If it would only bring you here

Please hold the line, long distance makes your voice seem faint
The static crackles like the sound of pouring rain
I barely hear you say goodbye.

about

Tommy Keyes Ireland

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
