alright by shamsi ruhe

If you’re alright i take it like it comes
If you’re alright the middle distance hums
If you’re alright i keep the clowns well fed
If you’re alright i wear my blue perfume to bed
If you’re alright

I’m not the fool who tries to hold you in the night
I lack the fineness and the fury of the fight
My dreams are filled with you in summer light
I lick the ashtrays til i lose my appetite

But just as long as you’re alright
I’m alright...you’ll be alright

If you’re alright the baby falls asleep
If you’re alright the willow just forgets to weep
If you’re alright i case the station for a smoke
If you’re alright i’m alright as an inside joke

Nobody’s hero i am but a simple man
Your predilections aren’t mine to understand
The things you think you need are all beyond my reach
And i’m an empty bottle washed up on the beach
