Hello, Mr. Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for
The rest of my life
I hope it's not too much to ask
Cos I don't have much to give back
Would that be alright?
Like all the doctors curing cancer
Searching for the right prescription
I'm hoping there's one answer
To a million different questions
I've seen you sit upon your chair
Painted pictures with each stare
Tell me everything
Did you fight in Vietnam?
Did you find you're not as strong
As you thought you'd be?
Like a bottle with a message
In a language I can't read
I'm drifting without reason
Least one that I can see
Hello, Mr. Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for
The rest of my days
Does the love we have run out?
Does she make your time here count
With your blood in her veins?
Do you remember every season
That has fallen from that tree
I think we're in a winter
And it's one that just won't leave
I'm sorry sir to carry on
Finally, found now that you're gone
The words to say
Not sure what I was looking for
Knocking on the cobwebbed door
Of a ghost, anyways
Then you whisper from your mountain
With your wider point of view
"Son, if you are searching
It's all that you can do"
Hello, Mister Right Next Door
Hello, Mister Right Next Door
(Goodbye)
Hello, Mister Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for the rest of my life
