i caught that smile as you turned away.

it wasn't hard to identify.

a friendly face in an angry sea.

i caught you laughing at the world, with me.

welcome to the club.



we hesitated i could wait no more.

i asked you what it is you're looking for.

you said i couldn't tell you

it would take too long.

we went for coffee and the world felt warm.

welcome to the club.



all that time i looked at you.

all that time ago.

welcome to the club.



i sat and listened

i was in a trance.

you spoke so clearly

it was elegance.

and when we rose to leave

the smokey room, you reassured me i was not alone.

welcome to the club.



i caught that smile as you turned away.

and for a moment it was clear as day.

came in the

entrance hall,

i wonder if you ever came here at all.

welcome to the club
