If You're Still There

6. IF YOU'RE STILL THERE - 5:06
Words and Music by Bruce T. Carroll

If you're still there when my train passes by
Like an answer to a prayer that I whispered long ago
If I can find my way to you
If you can see into my heart
If I've learned anything at all
In all the time we've been apart

Ever since the night we parted I keep feeling like we failed
To finish what we started
That our ship had never sailed...
All the things we built together seemed so beautiful and strong
Til that crazy voice inside my head
Told me I don't belong...

If you're still there
And not just a voice on the other end of the phone
If you're still there..
You're eyes...your hands...your mouth...
Your flesh and your bone..
If you're still there...
And there's a place in your heart left for me
If you're still there...if you still see
If you still care...if you're still free
If you're still there...

The moon looks like a sun tonight and the sun is just a star
I'm out here on a run tonight
And I don't know where you are
Driftin' through this old bus station blowing through these roadside weeds
All the things that no-one wanted
All the things that no-one needs
If you're still there....
Not just a voice on the other end of the phone
If you're still there..
Your eyes your hands your mouth
Your flesh and your bone
If you're still there..
And there's a place in your heart left for me
If you're still there, if you still see
If life were fair, if you're still free
If all the stars aligned..
Above this sad and rootless tree
If I had not grown blind
To what was right in front of me
If you're still there...
