[rev. May 31, 2018]

I can wander
Through this lonely place
Like other people do
But I can't find you
Empty rows
Of memories long gone
That you retain
It's this that gets you through

No need for lipstick
No need for perfume
No social engagements
For you to resume
No one to see you
Now he has left you
No one remembers you
You were two when they met you

But the days keep on
Making me cry
And the nights go by
I would surely die
(I look at my face)
I look at my face
(And I see the lines)
See the lines
Gonna lose my mind
The speed of time
Will I see you
When will I see you again

Here in the silence
Of the frantic busy streets
Nothing left to say
You're on your own again
You take out your door key
That opens up a place
Where you'll be alone
Always there but never home

No burst of laughter
No stumbling off curbs
No searching special shops
For exotic herbs
No candles burning down
From moonlit dinners
No idle chatter left
The loser's lost her winner

But the days keep on
Making me cry
And the nights go by
I would surely die
(I look at my face)
I look at my face
(And I see the lines)
And see the lines
Gonna lose my mind
The speed of time
Will I see you
When will I see you again

And you sit on the stairs
And I start to cry
And the years go by
I'll surely die
(I fall onto the bed)
And I fall onto my bed
(And I can't get by)
And I can't get by
Gonna lose my mind
The speed of time
Will take me to you
Take me to you again
