How Can I? - Steve Hackett

The local radio says sorry time to go

But I don’t sleep too well

Where are those Southern Belles

Tryin to get a telephone line through South Caroline

Your call may bring somebody down for miles around

I’m watching her eyes again

I won’t use no fountain pen

The lady isn’t here.

The message wasn’t clear

She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below

Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing

But how can I go on just singing this song

My car’s out of gas again

Hurry home to see my friend

Money won’t help you to win a new look at things

Loving can bring you down so you fall

Then why do you still try to get up at all

Your good and bad side showing through

Problems are a part of you

You must love someone else or face life by yourself

You may expect a call

She’s waiting in the hall

See the garden grows and it grows nobody else knows

And you can wear just any old thing

The show can begin

I’m falling asleep to dream

No more hills to climb it seems

Money won’t help you to win a new look at things

You never give in

So why don’t you sing

But how can I go on just singing this song

My car’s out of gas again

I’ll be home to see my friend
