How can you ask me
how have I been
I think you should know well
the shape that I'm in
You tell me you wonder
if I was okay
Well that's a damn fool
thing to say
The water is risin
the water is ride
And you're always standin on
the other side
And then comes the moment
I wait in the 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
