GUEST,ketchdana Lyr Req: Song for a Friend (Archie Fisher) (8) Lyr Req: Archie Fisher: Song For A Frien 13 Mar 15


Looking for a phrase in "Song For A Friend" sung (and written) by Archie Fisher.
---( and no, this is not the "Song For A Friend" by John Stewart, elsewhere here in mudcatland )---
In the fourth verse:

Don't worry if you...          (audience repeats)
Forgot to phone...
When you're in the groove...
You're (xxx   xxx   xxx   xxx)...           [four syllables or words]   [the last xxx rhymes with "phone"]
Though we're far apart...     (continuing for context)
I know you're at hand...
We're joined at the heart...
And I understand...


Most youtube videos were shot by someone off in the audience, with the camera holder singing along with everyone else. Finally found one

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0e36WeH30U )

of Archie being interviewed for a Canadian show, where he is singing into a microphone in a quiet studio, and I still can't make out what's being sung! He's not mumbling, and I'm pretty sure there are no strange terms being used, but... The song is about five and a half or six minutes into the half hour video.


( Aside: It took me years to find why a line in "Edelweiss" (from
Sound Of Music play/film) had such a strange echo in one line:
"You look happy to me, to me." Not 'til I saw it written did it click:
"You look happy to meet me"!!
)


Archie Fisher's is a lovely ear-worm kind of song, and I've got the rest of the words. Would kinda like to know those last few.
