Just to be Clear

from Long Shadows by Englewood

lyrics

I was not worried. I knew you’d be fine.
I was not worried; they do this all the time.
I truly think you’re strong as a rock.
Your Mum would say you’re from good peasant stock.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.

It sounded so simple, described with just one word.
Two days later, you’re free as a bird.
And then a nice long vacation from work.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.

Then there was all of that blood, and all those hours waiting to see;
All of that time to think how fragile life can be.
All of that time when I could not give into fear;
All of that time when I would not shed a tear.

I don’t know why I couldn’t sleep through the night.
I don’t know why my muscles clenched up so tight.
I don’t know why I could not concentrate right.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.

Then there was all of that blood, and all those hours waiting to see;
All of that time to think how fragile life can be.
All of that time when I could not give into fear;
All of that time when I would not shed one tear.

I don’t know why, when they said that you were OK,
I kept on breaking into tears throughout the whole day.
I don’t know why it finally seemed like time to pray.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.
Just to be clear, I was not worried.
But if you didn’t know better, you’d think that I was worried.
If you didn’t know better, you’d think I was worried.
