sinéad gere
writing these lines to you my dear
letting you know i'm okay
it's just another day
hope you're fine too
at home so far away
and what's more so
how's my brother ray?
shearer played football
with children down the street
watched them from the shelter
man, we may see defeat
what are we here for?
nothing seems real
it's just mad once more
life's so trivial
chorus:
but that day is over and done
nothing's left to say
and four more are gone
on this long and bloody day
what a day
but i'm okay, i'm fine, allright
don't worry for it's another day
looking at your photo
i've received in the mail
why is it we never hear
what we need to tell
hope i'm right though
by leaving you behind
i'll be longing more so
for a love that isn't mine
and i never told you
that i really like you
and i should let you know
before it's too late
you were looking so gorgeous
when i left without a word to say
now i would hold you
if i could
one day
(chorus)
sinéad gere
writing these lines to you my dear
letting you know i'm okay
it's just another day
hope you're fine too
at home so far away
and what's more so
how's my brother ray?
