Green Spandex
Xavier Rudd · Good Spirit [2005]
That I thought would never come
The woman who lit the light
For a family in the dark
Starring at the mirror
I see your smile through my own
Your spark embedded deep inside
Will give me strength
Will give us hope
And I'll never lose your touch
No I'll never lose touch
This will take me a while
Because I miss your smile And I
I guess I knew your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
It's gonna take me a while
Thank you for your loyal stance
Green spandex and crazy style
Thank you for the happiness
That you gave to our lives
Although now our hearts are cracked
And our tears are slow to dry
We must count ourselves
The lucky ones
For we were with you in your prime
And I'll never lose your touch
No I'll never lose touch
This will take me a while
Because I miss your smile And I
I guess I knew your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
I miss you smile
This will take me a while
Because I miss your smile And I
I guess I knew your time would come
But for now I miss your smile
Its gonna take me a while
Please stay in touch
Because I need you in my heart
Please stay in touch
I need your touch
