lyrics
Alan Clark
Low sun, well past five
At his regular dive
Alan stole in from his day
There at the bar, he leaned
Cast somewhere in between
The simply plain and too outre
When Alan Clark caught sight
Of a vision so pure and bright
It nearly knocked him off his bended knees
And she would have fanned the fire
Had she only seen a spark
If she could've seen you falling
She would have caught you
Alan Clark
She silently slipped in
Through the dust and the din
Ordering mostly in pantomime
Amidst the clamoring crowd
She was bashful and bowed
Hoping to blend in with the grime
He thought of reaching out
But he clung to his doubts
And had another shot of sloe gin
And she would have fanned the fire
Had she only seen a spark
If she could've seen you falling
She would have caught you
Alan Clark
She was what he'd always wanted
And yet could never find
A figment of the most fantastic
Places in his mind
Imagining the thrill of contact
Exchanging pleasantries
But what he longed to say was
“Darling, you were meant for me”
And Alan knew she'd gone
Leaving him to dwell on
Regrets he'd rather just ignore
And she would have fanned the fire
Had she only seen a spark
If she could've seen you falling
She would have caught you
