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.
