ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
               By Lucinda Williams


Are you alright

All of a sudden you went away (Are you alright)
I hope you come back around someday (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 seems like you disappeared (Are you alright)
Cause I've been feeling a little 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

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)

Repeat chorus

Are you alright




This is from the New "West". I really liked it. Universal sentiment
love, hg

PS (capo up 2 and play in A)

Not one of her better efforts, lyrically, I'd say. Plus those repetitions are quite annoying.

Universal sentiment??

Cheers,
Michael

It's easier to appreciate this sentiment if you've ever been in a position where you wished someone would ask, "Are you all right?"

No, it's not universal, unfortunately.
