I don’t need much bar the human touch
a word saying ‘you’ll be fine’
worries shared over tea and biscuits
I always leave the lighter

the summer’s been a long one
but friends took the sting
Eadaoin in nearly every day
and my parents on the train
regular as clockwork

thanking you all
the wheels are back on the wagon
and there’s something in the air
on yet another sleepless night
a feeling that my intentions
are coming off the hard-shoulder

it’s cold there on the side
but warmer for the genuine hello
how ya keepin’
come out and play a round
“you’re welcome any time”

loyal friends, this one is for you
I’m lucky, lucky, lucky
to know the human touch
