lyrics

It's A Small World (Or So They Say)
(Cardier)

Darlin’, though you're goin' far away
It's a small world or so they say -
Maybe I'll meet up with you sometime -
Somewhere wonderful.
Maybe a lamp-lit bridge in Amsterdam
Or a giddy street in Sydney -
Darlin’, I'll meet up with you again -
Yes, of course I will.

So I won't be gettin' lonely
And I won't be gettin' sad -
Lemme hear that old piano roll
And some guy playin' the good old days
All night long -
And even then I won't forget by the mornin’ -
Not for all the yellow-keyed pianos
They got in New Orleans.

Maybe I'll see you in the dark
Of some mardi-gras lane
And well, you won't have changed an awful lot -
No, not for all the lights they got in Paris.

So I won't be gettin' angry,
I won't be gettin' mad -
I'm not the kind who would do that -
I'm only shakin' my fist at the sky 'cos it's rainin’ -
And the asylum of your arms won't be forgotten -
Not for all the madness they got in Manhattan.

It's a small world or so they say -
Darlin’, I'll meet up with you sometime -
Somewhere wonderful.

Yes, of course I will.

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
