lyrics

I saw you by the fish stall in the noon-day rain

Blue coat, clean boots, no trace of the strain

You had a loaf in hand from the bakery lane

And a paper cup of tea by the bus-stop chain

You gave me that nod like a hand on the wall

No weight in the room, no need to fall

I watched you step clear of the wet grey square

And I knew right then you were better there

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, I let you go

Looking well, and I’m glad to know

I was by Eyre Square with the clock on ten

Tesco bags in the wind, then there you were again

You laughed at some story from your friend

And my old tight heart just loosened then

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, I let you go

Looking well, and I’m glad to know

No bitter cup, no rotten speech

Just a clean blue sky over Spanish Arch beach

You looked like spring in a worn black coat

And peace came easy as the gulls that float

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, looking well

Looking well, I let you go

Looking well, and I’m glad to know
