Fall Of 82

[Verse 1] I do relate to you in so many ways But I didn’t go through what you must have in those early days You had to be strong at such a very young age A new life on Ilima Lane [Chorus] So won’t you listen to me now something I never told you And I’m about to try See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding [Verse 2] You moved back in with us in the fall of ’82 I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through You told me that a downturn would eventually improve And you were right so I’m thanking you [Chorus] So won’t you listen to me now something I never told you And I’m about to try See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding Footholds eroding [Bridge 1] Had you never been my friend I wouldn’t be quite what you see I wouldn’t be the man I am [Trumpet Solo] |    |      | |    |      | |      |    | |      |       | [Bridge 2] |    |    |    |    |    | Sister you’ve known me Lost in a strange world What has it shown me What has it gone through Sister you’ve known me Been lost in a strange world But has it shown me What has it gone through [Verse 3] October chill in that old dusty town Halloween came I was still feeling down Mama lost my sweet tooth what’s the point in going ’round? Your boy is losing count Maybe try the lost and found
