| How can you ask me
|
| How have I been
|
| I think you should know well
|
| The shape that I’m in
|
| You say that you wondered
|
| If I was o. |
| k
|
| Well that’s a damn fool thing to say
|
| The water is risin'
|
| The water is wide
|
| And your always standin'
|
| On the other side
|
| And then comes the moment
|
| I wake before dawn
|
| With hours to lie here alone
|
| And you seem so surprised
|
| That I’m feelin' this way
|
| How am I so lonely today
|
| If you ever loved me the way I loved you
|
| You would be lonely too
|
| So here’s to the lovers
|
| For old times sake
|
| Who don’t hold each other
|
| To the promise they break
|
| And smile through the window
|
| And wave on the street
|
| 'Cause that’s all you want now from me
|
| Should I say something
|
| To put you at ease
|
| Or should I get down on my knees
|
| If you ever loved me the way I loved you
|
| You would be lonely too
|
| If you ever loved me the way I loved you
|
| You would be lonely too |
