How can you ask me

How have I been

I think you should know well

The shape that Im in

You say that you wondered

If I was o.k.

Well thats 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 Im 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 heres to the lovers

For old times sake

Who dont hold each other

To the promise they break

And smile through the window

And wave on the street

Cause thats 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
