It?s one whole year now since you left
And still the feeling of bereft
Hits me hard out of the blue
And I feel I should be calling you
With all this good news on my plate
Seems it came a year too late
It brought a smile surprised me too
And I feel I should be calling you.
The baby came and I was there

She has all her limbs but not a hair
Excuse me while I doff my hat
But I think I had a hand in that
On mondays she?s got her mother?s eyes
On tuesdays it?s a compromise
On wednesdays she?s like you know who
And I feel I should be calling you.

Bridge
I feel I should be calling you,
sometimes the telephone is in my hand
Then I realise anew that there?s no-one there at all,
no footstep in the hall
It?s a silence that?s so hard to understand
The song went racing up the charts
Now that would have gladdened both your hearts
Up the long can, garvey?s range
Something concrete for a change
So we threw a party and we hit the juice
You know the form the least excuse

It?s sitting now at number two
And I feel I should be calling you.
Addend.
I meet your friends on mulgrave street
They move along on weary feet
They knew you so they know me too
And I feel I should be calling you.
