Shay Healy - Even If It's Only For A Minute | The Stable Sessions 

Shay Healy sings “Even If It’s Only For A Minute” live from The Stable Sessions.
This truly characteristic Shay Healy song demonstrates well his Lou Reedesque vocals over a laid back folk track where he cordially invites the listener to call in to say hello, even if it’s only for a minute.
"Me and my great friend, Sean Devitt put this one to bed in the old STS Studio. It urges people to stay in touch with elderly parents and friends that live alone."

Lyrics:
Used to be the weather
Keepin us together
Taken time to look at the sky
Simple observation, simple conversation
Watching all the folks goin by
Now it's only bustling everybody hustling
Movin so fast never slow
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello.
Even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Everybody's rushing like crazy
Everybody's got somewhere to go
Me I'm just sitting here thinkin
Bout the friends I used to know
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello.
Used to be the neighbours
Did each other favours
Now you hardly see them at all
Never come a calling as the night is fallen
Hiding there behind every wall
Only see them driven leaving or arriving
Always going fast never slow
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Everybody's rushing like crazy
Everybody's got somewhere to go
Me I'm just sitting here thinkin
Bout the friends I used to know
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Sitting by the fire
We would never tire
Telling stories into the night
Now the big decision
Is What's on television
Coming to us via satellite
New communications
Kill the conversations
Where it's gonna end
No one knows
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Everybody's rushing like crazy
Everybody's got somewhere to go
Me I'm just sitting here thinking
Bout the friends I used to know
So even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
Even if it's only for a minute
Will you call and say hello
