lyrics

Tristan wrestles Roscoe to the ground
At his leaving party before he goes to Hawaii
Around the campfire they sing 'No Woman No Cry'
But he’s made his choice, it’s time to fly.

Hello my darling one
It’s been too long not to call
And I know I’ve had a drink but
I’ve never wanted you more.

The people I knew all look beautiful
Dancing round the fire
I feel like singing all through the night
Until the dawn’s chorus
Before he goes.

We’ve been chasing our own tails for years
Dreamt and woken, only to dream once again.
Tomorrow he’ll have what he thinks he needs
Gone to be a man or just pissing in the wind.

Hello my darling one
It’s been too long not to call
And I know I’ve had a drink but
I’ve never wanted you more.

The people I knew all look beautiful
Dancing round the fire
I feel like singing all through the night
Until the dawn’s chorus
For one last time
Before it goes.

I’ve been thinking
As the fire dies
That I can’t lose everything
All in one night
So I’ve called you now
‘Cus I finally realise
That I need you now
And for the rest
And for the rest
Of my life.
