If you see her say hello 
If she asks how 
I'm doing let her know 
If she says is he 
O.K. say it's slow 
But he's coming round 
And if you sleep with her 
Through the darkest night 
And you wake beside her in the early light 
Kiss her gently like 
I might And bring her round 
If she stumbles if she trips and slows 
In the darkest rain and through the driving snow 
Bring her straight here 
I'll be on my own 
But bring her round 
And every dream and every shadow that you heard 
Makes you want to cry '
Cause it's a big bad world 
If you want her let her know 
If she's leaving let her go 
All of this will pass but it passes slow 
And you'll come around 
When the wind blows through 
October skies 
And you wake up in the cold twilight 
And you stretch your hand out and there's nothing there but the night 
And the darkness is all around 
If you see her say hello 
If she asks how 
I'm doing let her know 
If she says is he 
O.K. say it slow 
But he's coming round 
When the rain falls from the blackened sky 
There's a heart breaking but it feels alright 
See I should have done something but 
I let it slide 
And I'll come around 
Every dream and every shadow that you've heard 
Don't make it cry like you want to die 
In this big bad world. *
