Back For A Day
(Lyrics/melody: Bar Zalel)
Back for a day
After those years
I’ve spent in running away
Please forgive me
Back with the dawn
I swear I didn’t think
I’d linger so long
do believe me
Back but too late
I didn’t come
And you have got a new fate
The beauty queen has gone
And got her a date
And if I leave it doesn’t matter
Back on the road
You said you had too much
To carry my load
I could see that
Back where I’m from
We used to say
That when a guy does you wrong
You don’t need that
But in this case
You’d be forgiven
If you’d want an embrace
if you just want to wear
a smile on your face
and nothing more, under the covers
Back on my word
You’ve asked me to
And I have sworn to the lord
I would stay here
Back in a bit
Just close your eyes
and hold your heart were I’ve hit
when you lay here
back on the run
it wasn’t unexpected
nor is it fun
for years you have suspected
that like a gun
I’d shoot off
Back towards the sun
(Lyrics/melody: Bar Zalel)
