I saw you standing there.
The wind was blowing through your hair.
Without a sound or glance you vanished.
And I was left alone.
I saw you once that night.
I tell you now you were in full flight.
And then from my sight you vanished.
No longer did I see you.
Tell me why did you leave?
Tell me why did you go?
Tell me just why the hurry?
Tell me what did you see?
Tell me when did you know?
Tell me where was that worry?
I knew from the moment you came to me
that I wanted to keep you.
You knew from the moment you left me
that we were through.
You were the perfect girl.
In this crazy wild world.
But when I turned around you vanished.
I wish that we were still two.
The thoughts run through my head.
I see your tread running again.
Then I open my eyes you’ve vanished.
I’ll guess that I will make do.
Tell me why did you leave?
Tell me why did you go?
Tell me just why the hurry?
Tell me what did you see?
Tell me when did you know?
Tell me where was that worry?
I knew from the moment you came to me
that I wanted to keep you.
You knew from the moment you left me
that we were through.
I wish that you could see me now.
To gaze at what you’re missing wow.
Better I’ve become, more than you would ever guess.
More than just a bum, I’m no longer a mess.
You don’t even know why I was back then.
But I know…Oh I know.
I know why you did leave.
I know why you did go.
I know what was your hurry.
I know what you did see.
I know when you did know.
I know where was your worry.
You saw something you didn’t like.
Something I could not change.
And you fled in full flight.
You thought you could exchange.
I wonder what to do, I wonder what to think, I wonder all the time till my face is flush with pink.
Wondering while working, wondering at home, wondering all the time I think I’m on my own.
I wondered when it was, I wondered when it is, I wondered at what point I became like this.
No longer do I wonder, the wondering is done, the thoughts I wondered no longer do they come.
