This opening song to the album is a wistful look back at the last album I recorded, in 2001, called Simplicity. Anyone who knows that album will get some of the things I'm singing about.
lyrics
Hello again, my so-called friends
It's good to have you back again
A tale to tell, a man at sea
Whatever did become of me?
Well here I am, my voice again
To some it's sweet, some it offends
Ten years gone by, oh how time flies
This hello is really a goodbye
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Hello again, my dearest friends
It's good to have you back again
Sometimes you just have to blame me
If only for simplicity
Well here's the truth, if you must know
I say goodbye and mean hello
But this may take you by surprise
Cos this hello is really a goodbye
