She sits so quietly

At the window by the door

Wondering if she'll

Ever smile again

Her eyes filled with memories

And her life in sad array

Unaware of the colours of the day

She dare not cry for fear

Her hope might disappear

But if she cared to try

I know it all could be so clear



But she's living in the past

She didn't know it wouldn't last

And it's a long, long, lonely road

Oh, to go down



The treasured names

You call each other just for fun

And as you woke

She kissed your eyes

You killed it all when it had

Only just begun

What's it take to make you realise



Love isn't easy though

Many like to think it is

But you must learn

To give and take or know

What you will miss



But she's living in the past

She didn't know it wouldn't last

And it's a long, long, lonely road

Oh, to go down
