[Intro — soft rain, gentle syncopated electric guitar, distant bird calls] You called while it was raining I almost missed the phone [Instrumental — warm guitar figure circles slowly, soft organic pads rising underneath] [Verse 1 — breathy intimate vocal, unhurried phrasing] You asked if I was busy I said, “Not anymore” You told me about your new place The window near your bed The plant you nearly killed Then somehow brought back I walked beneath the trees And listened [Instrumental Passage — guitar melody opens into longer phrases, rain percussion remaining soft and irregular] [Refrain — warm vocal, gentle wordless humming between lines] It was good to hear you That was all Nothing had to happen Nothing had to change It was good to hear you That was all [Extended Instrumental — syncopated guitar, distant bird calls, low humming and spacious organic texture] [Verse 2 — quiet conversational vocal] You asked about my mother I asked about your work We talked around the years Without avoiding them The rain grew lighter Neither of us noticed Then you said my name The way you used to And kept talking [Instrumental — guitar answers the last phrase, wordless humming drifts behind] [Bridge — arrangement thins to voice, rain, and sparse guitar] There are people I thought I had to keep Or lose Maybe some can simply Pass through your life And still be there [Long Instrumental Passage — warm humming carries a simple melody, guitar weaving gently around it, distant birds and rain gradually receding] [Final Refrain — soft lead vocal, restrained humming underneath] It was good to hear you That was all Nothing had to happen Nothing had to change It was good to hear you That was all [Outro — guitar and rain remain, vocal almost whispered] You said, “Call sometime” I think I will [End — quiet humming, one final guitar phrase]
