Almost
Sarah Harmer

I almost dialed you number
When I thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long at me
And said "call me please"

But the place was closing
And the counter girl turned the sing
The cooks were getting their coats and I got mine
And said "goodnight" to the sea of empty seats

And if I am the sailor
Then you are the warm gulf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again

I see my mouth moving when I talk to you
I do
I see my lips and I feel like a kid
Who can't keep something hid

'Cause I've been under the paper you were writing on
You left your impression long after you'd gone
On me
Marks that only I can see

And if I am the sailor
Then you are the warm gulf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again

I almost dialed you number
When I thought the coast was clear
'Cause it's looked up for so long at me
And said "call me please"

And if I am the sailor
Then you are the warm gulf wind
And you've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again
When we say sometime later
You know that we don't say when
You've blown into this little port
And roused my dreams again


Sailor to wind
