Humphrey and me

Humphrey and me - Claes Janson

No man is an island

A line written long ago

Heroes simply never die

For heroes never die

Me in a crumpled suit

The curtain rose high

Towards a starry sky

And you cleaned out the town

Lauren bacall was yours

'Cause winner take all

As the saying goes at the red mill

Humphrey if you need me

Just whistle and I'll come

Time never stops

On the pavement forms a queue

Humphrey no doubt there are heroes

So that our dreams will come true

A no man's land

A sand-glass with no sand

A sign-board in block letters blind alley

A man's gotta do

What a man's gotta do

And what remains spells the end

Humphrey if you need me

Just whistle and I'll come

You made a crooked smile

And on row twenty-one

I sat there dreaming of my childhood

Tried to smile like you

It's childish but true

And at dark I sneaked away from the red mill

Humphrey if you need me

Just whistle and I'll come
