about
Written : June 2012
Finally realised was written about a Russian girl I met in Budapest (a city split in two). We spent five great days together and went our separate ways. We lost touch for a long time and in the meantime, Alyona, had married and moved to the USA. I managed to get in touch with her in 2011 and we chatted on the phone.
In 2012 I found myself in Budapest again sitting at the same cafe waiting for a plane having a beer. I put something to that effect on facebook and Alyona responded that it was the happiest moment of her life.
That night I went to see my cousin who was recording with her band in Camberley, surrey. We all went out that night and had a few beers. I spoke to Alyona on the phone at 2AM our time and we realised that we both felt the same way. How could I have been so blind.
I saw her in Philadelphia about 5 months later - it was great to see her again - but she told me she had cancer - for the third time. She was getting treatment and was hopeful.
Some months later she went in to hospital as the treatment was not working that well. 3 weeks later a doctor posted on facebook she had passed away.
If there is one message this song brings out - it is this - Just tell that person how you feel. You may never get a chance to do so again.
lyrics
Verse 1
I met you many years ago, in a city split in two
We walked across the Danube, that’s where I fell for you
We laughed a lot, we made love, a very special night
Though we went our separate ways , you were always on my mind
I started to feel fear
Id been so hurt before
I let you walk away
And I never let you know
Verse 2
Two months ago, we met again, we were in your town
I sensed a boyfriend on the scene, it kind of got me down
Wanted to hold you in my arms, ti kiss and feel your touch
Relive all those happy times, I wanted that so much
I didn’t think to ask
Assumed you wouldn’t care
I let you walk away again
And I never let you know
Chorus
Sorry that I disappeared
Its been far too many years
Never realised you felt the same x 2
Lead solo
Verse 3
Then last night I spoke to you, called you on the phone
It seems we both misunderstood, how could I be so wrong?
13 years have passed so quick, the feelings still remain
The joy of rediscovery, now I know you feel the same
I have no fear at all, the hurt has all gone
Wont let you walk away again,
And I finally let you know
Chorus
Sorry that I disappeared
Its been far too many years
Finally realised you felt the same x 5
