    Autumn blew its leaves at me
    Threatening winter as I walked
    Summer always goes so quick
    Barely stopping like my thoughts
    Which dip and spin and change so fast
    I have to wonder, will I last
    Through the windows of the train
    I caught reflections of a paper cup
    Hanging small in a pale blue sky
    Never knowing which way's up
    Above the clouds, what's to be found
    I have to wonder, will I be around
    As my anger shouts at my own self doubt
    So a sadness creeps into my dreams
    When you're scared of living but afraid to die
    I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it
    Yeah, yeah yeah
    Must be me that's rushing by
    Time just lingers on the wind
    Bristlin' through my open fears
    I wonder what it's going to bring
    Above the clouds, what's to be found
    I have to wonder, will I be around
    Run and hide, run and hide
    I catch the sail at evening tide
    Run and hide, run and hide
    I catch the sail at evening tide
    Run and hide, run and hide
    I catch the sail at evening tide

    Yolanda Charles on bass, Steve White on drums, Steve Craddock on guitar... Such a big part of Weller's sound and his ability to achieve his songs the way he heard them in his mind. Also, Yolanda always plays with such a great, relaxed yet compelling groove, so Weller could do his soulful thing with ease. And this is such a great tune!

They didn’t include the encore with Simon Fowler performing Etta James’ “Take another little piece of my heart,” but it went on to become the Live Wood VHS, and we’ll never forget that treat.

    I luv Weller, my gran was from woking so spent much time there as a kid & I feel the essence of the place in his music, luv that he wrote this on a train returning from Selsey - also from my family tree early 1800s an ancestor married one of the Weller clan who left UK as settlers who claimed homeland & helped build a township in remote, undeveloped Canada
