Are You Alright?
Lucinda Williams · West [2007]
All of the sudden you went away,
Are you alright?
I hope you come back around some day,
Are you alright?
I haven't seen you in a real long time,
Are you alright?
Could you give me some kind of sign?
Are you alright?
I looked around me and you were gone,
Are you alright?
I feel like there must be something wrong,
Are you alright?
Cause it seemed like you disappeared,
Are you alright?
Cause I been feeling alittle scared,
Are you alright?
(Chorus)
Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug and kiss you, Hug and kiss you, Hug and kiss you?
Are you alright?
(Guitar Solo)
Are you alright?
Is there something been bothering you?
Are you alright?
I wish you'd give me a little clue,
Are you alright?
Is there something you wanna say?
Are you alright?
Just tell me that you're okay,
Are you alright?
Cause you took off without a word,
Are you alright?
You flew away like a little bird,
Are you alright?
Is there anything I can do?
Are you alright?
Cause I need to hear from you,
Are you alright?
(Chorus)
Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with you?
Do you have someone to hug and kiss you, Hug and kiss you, Hug and kiss you?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Heyyyyyyyyyyy!
