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 wondered
If I was okay
Well that's a damn fool thing to say
The water is rising
The water is wide
And you're always standing
On the other side
And then comes the moment
I wake in the dawn with hours to lie here alone
And you seem so surprised
That I'm feeling 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 time's 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
