A new song from Marty and the Gone . First since the Every Setting Sun album from 2021. A slice of upbeat jangly guitar about always being there for a friend and not wasting the days.

lyrics

Where is the smile that stops me going under ?
Deeper than life, It's a wasted afternoon..
I wanna talk to you, forget the news
I wanna talk to you like I used to do..
I wanna see the world colourised,
Don't have to dream in black and white..

Throw me a line, coz you know I never left you..
Give me a sign, I'm just a smile away..
I wanna talk to you, forget the news
I wanna talk to you like I used to do..
I wanna see the world colourised,
Don't have to dream in black and white..

Torn by the rain, Healed by the sun,
I'll find you again, Don't care what we've become..
Torn by the rain. Healed by the sun..
I'll find you again..
We've only got this lifetime
And I've always got some sunshine for a friend..

Torn by the rain, Healed by the sun,
I'll find you again, Don't care what we've become..
Torn by the rain. Healed by the sun..
I'll find you again..
We've only got this lifetime
And I've always got some sunshine for a friend..
