A Gospel Song
Bob Geldof Lyrics

If you see her say hello
If you happen to see her, please give her my regards.

If she asks how I'm doing let her know
If she inquires about my well-being, please inform her of how I am doing.

If she says is he O.K. say it's slow
If she wonders if I am okay, tell her that I am slowly recuperating.

But he's coming round
Although I am taking time to recover, I am slowly but surely getting better.

And if you sleep with her
If you happen to be intimate with her in any way,

Through the darkest night
Throughout the night when darkness overwhelms,

And you wake beside her in the early light
And as you wake up next to her in the early hours of the morning,

Kiss her gently like I might
Please treat her with the same gentle touch and affection as I would.

And bring her round
Help her back to a positive state of mind.

If she stumbles if she trips and slows
If she experiences a setback or struggles with something,

In the darkest rain and through the driving snow
During the most challenging of times, through heavy downpour or snowfall,

Bring her straight here
Bring her directly to me,

I'll be on my own
I will be by myself, but I will do everything I can to help her.

But bring her round
Help her back to a positive state of mind and well-being.

And every dream and every shadow that you heard
Every dream and every haunting memory that has afflicted you,

Makes you want to cry
Brings you to the brink of tears,

'Cause it's a big bad world
Because the world can be an unforgiving and harsh place.

If you want her let her know
If you have feelings for her, let her know how you feel.

If she's leaving let her go
If she has decided to leave, respect her decision and let her go.

All of this will pass but it passes slow
Everything will eventually fade away but the process can be slow.

And you'll come around
And eventually you will recover and regain your strength.

When the wind blows through October skies
When autumnal winds sweep through the skies,

And you wake up in the cold twilight
And as you awaken to the chilly dawn,

And you stretch your hand out and there's
As you reach out with your hand and you realize that,

Nothing there but the night
There is nothing there but the darkness of the night,

And the darkness is all around
And everything around you is surrounded by shadows and uncertainty.

When the rain falls from the blackened sky
When rainfall descends from the darkened sky,

There's a heart breaking but it feels alright
Someone's heart may be breaking, but they will eventually begin to heal.

See I should have done something but I let it slide
Perhaps there was something I should have done, but I chose to ignore it.

And I'll come around
Despite my mistakes and regrets, I will eventually recover and move forward.

Every dream and every shadow that you've heard
Every nightmare and every haunting reminder that you have experienced,

Don't make it cry like you want to die
Shouldn't make you weep uncontrollably and feel like you want to give up.

In this big bad world.
In this unforgiving and harsh world we live in.
