lyrics

Where's old Johnny Raindrops when you need him most?
Wonder how he's getting on.
It's not that I need company 'cos I'm not on my own
There's me and this unfinished song.

I remember playing outside the jewellers shop
In Charleville Meziers
Where had all the people gone?
And where's that piece of paper I wrote all those ideas on?
To help with this unfinished song

Where's Scruffy Pete now King Billy's changed his name?
Just as the nights are getting long.
It's not that it's a problem
I've been here before
Me and this unfinished song

How many lines from this unfinished song
Will ever be sung?
One of these days inspiration will come
I'll pick up a pen and get this done

Rupi and the nightingale waiting patiently
For their time to come along
But I wait for no one and no one waits for me
Me and this unfinished song

Stayed overnight at the Pack'o'Cards
Throught the dice to pick a room
Thought I'd leave with something
To show for being there
Instead of me and this unfinished song
Me and this unfinished...
