[Verse 1]
Sometimes I get worried
Thinking about what each new day will bring
All the world is hassled hurt or hurried
There s never time to ease the painful things
Never time to think on where you re going or where you ve been
[Chorus]
You can tell them I m going home
Or that I m working late at night
No point writing letters
Or using the telephone
Tell them anything that you might
Be sure and tell them I ll be alright
[Verse 2]
City streets on grey mean mornings
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
Its got to come from the inside not from somebody else
[Chorus 2]
You can tell them I m living in the country
Or that I ve given up the fight
No point in saying how well you knew me before
No point in giving reasons of last night
Be sure and tell them I ll be alright
[Verse 3]
And when my love comes whispering softly
With all the 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
[Chorus 3]
You can tell them I m living in the islands
Somewhere where the day is always bright
No need to visit England, Germany or Spain
Wont find me anywhere that things are tight
Just be sure and tell them I ll be alright
I m going back I ll be alright
Going home And I ll be alright
