He is here,
He’s in the kitchen, he’s having another beer,
I know that might seem a little weird,
There he is,
A sleeping partner from another age,
Another story on another page,
He helped me live when I was feeling low,
Taken by the hand many years ago,
A light is shining you will never know,
Here tonight,
And he knew to come,
The rendezvous was set many years ago,
Now he’s slow to leave my happy home,
He’s in the sky when the stars shine out,
He’s on the pier as I take a stroll,
In the crowd when I’m walking home,
And here tonight,
Here tonight,
He is eating the cake, chatting to your cousin,
He is telling his jokes, oh so sarcastic,
He is playing a tune, solving a riddle,
Can it be that he’s not really here ?
He is testing the brew, he is a piece in the puzzle,
He’s playing a tune, is he playing a game ?
Sleeping on your bed to get a second wind,
He has never been more in the building,
He has never been more in the building,
And now the guests have gone,
And we are left to tidy up alone,
But there’s still a third person in the room,
An interloper in the midnight gloom,
A returning friend from across the sea,
He is here,
He is here,
