It became clear, as clear as day
The way the air clears having rained
The way eyes see with keener sight
The way the eyes clear having cried
And what I think I've always known
It hit me like a stone thrown
To the end -
It's you I'd call should I have cause to phone a friend
And not for your knowledge of geography
Politics or pop-culture, post-83
But cause you know me better than any in this room
Better than I do
It became dark, as dark as night
Darker than Antarctica, mid-July
I’d lost all vision, every line of sight
But it’s lucky I can dial your number without needing light
Cause what I think, I’ve always known
You’ve lit me by your smile, shone
To the end
It’s you I’d call should I have cause to phone a friend
It’s me calling
And you I’d call should I have cause to phone a friend
