Lyrics
Sometimes I get worried
Thinking about what each new day may bring
All the world is hassled out or hurried
There's never time to ease the painful things
Never time to think of where you're going or where you've been
You can tell 'em I'm going home
Or that I'm working late at night
No point in writing letters or using the telephone
Tell 'em anything that you might
Be sure and tell 'em I'll be alright
City streets on a grey mean morning
Make a young man want to cry for help
Who can he trust to give out warnings like that
When he's nine points sure he just can't help himself
It's gotta come from the inside, not from somebody else
You can tell 'em I'm living in the country
Or that I've given up the fight
No point in saying how well they knew me before
No point in giving reasons of last night
Be sure and tell 'em I'll be alright
And when my love comes whispering softly
With all the special sweetness she can bring
That is when I'm real and mostly that's the time
I feel no need to give out anything
That is when I know just what to sing
You can tell them I'm living in the island
Somewhere where the day is always bright
Don't need to visit England, Germany or Spain
Won't find me anywhere that things are tight
Be sure and tell 'em I'll be alright
I'm going back, I'll be alright
Going home and I'll be alright
