You're Still Alive in My Head Lyrics

It just started raining
Your grandkids are playing
We′re waiting, we'll be eating soon
The wood stove is burning
My typewriter′s learning
The only thing missing is you

I couldn't say
So I sat down to write it instead
I'm afraid
If you stay away I might forget
You′re still alive in my head

I′m thinking 'bout buying an old house
And trying to fix it
But I could use some help
A home with a garden
They say it′s a bargain
But I, I can't do it myself

I couldn′t say
So I sat down to write it instead
I'm afraid
If you stay away I might forget
You′re still alive in my head

And when will you arrive?
I'll get in my car and drive
To wherever you are
And call me on the phone
It's taking way too long
Way too long

I couldn′t say
So I sat down to write it instead
I′m afraid
If you stay away I might forget
So I sat down to write it instead
I'm afraid
If you stay away I might forget
You′re still alive in my head

I've got two of my own
And a third will be born in November
You would be proud of me
But so much has changed
Since you left, it feels strange
It′s already 1983
