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 d___ fool thing to say

The water is risin'
the water is wide
and your always standin'
on the other side
and then comes to moment
I wake before dawn
with hours to lie here alone

And you seem so surprised that
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
