D-DU-UDU
In  the 60s  and the  70s
Before we'd  even  met
I  took those  pin-ups  to my heart
 Cause I hadn't  found you yet
 In back of cab in the streets of Rome
 I drunkly called a name
 On 13th floor in Paris hotel
 I looked north west in vain
In  bus shelter and phone  box
 Whilst  piss the piss ran round my feet
 I  caught wrong bus, rang  wrong number
 Cause my life  was incomplete
So  in case you think it wrong  to ask
In  case I don't ask you
 In  case it may just cross  your mind
 In case  it don't, I do
In  case you think it's up  to me
In  case I need a clue
In  case you want that bended knee
 In case  you don't, I do
 In pick-up truck on dusty road
 The wheel your only friend
 What kept that big wheel turning
 Was the thought of you at end
 On desert highway hitch-hiking
 Thumbing from A to B
 I knew not where I headed
 Before my map to thee
 At foot of the Alps in Switzerland
 I yodelled through the rain
 And it sort of kept me going
 To think you'd probably do the same
 So in case you think it wrong to ask
 In case I don't ask you
 In case it may just cross your mind
 In case it don't, I do
 In case you think it's up to me
 In case I need a clue
 In case you want that bended knee
 In case you don't, I do
Now  again we're miles  apart
We  talk but do not touch
Water,  food and alcohol
 I miss  them half as much
Cause  halfway up that mountain  pass
No  compass or no guide
Still  don't stand me steady  for
When  you I'm not beside
 So if you need a shelter
 I guess I'll need one too
 If you want the same address
 Even if you don't, I do
