so many lights,
so many faces.
maybe they're too bright,
maybe I just go to the wrong places.

the crowds they just walk by,
no signs of affection.
how are there so many people,
yet I can't get a connection?

i wish i could promise
that'll it'll be alright
i swear all i need is some time
everything will be just fine
can't wait to
take you out to dine
dressed up in my suit and tie
promise that'll you still be mine?

they say,
you will come back one day.
but its been year after year
and i'm still waiting right here.

when I woke up
the morning was cold,
the sky was dark.
it was like even the Earth knew.
throw on my suit,
black as coal.
I'm late,
felt like the longest walk of my life.
when I get there,
the service has begun.
the priest begins his solemn words
there's flowers,
red, white, yellow
no one's crying - yet.
I take the last empty seat,
The coffin.

so now she's gone,
up up and away.
my head was down on earth,
but my heart was in the milky way.

Oh darling do you know what that's worth?
It's a shame we're a match made in heaven,
But we were on Earth.

Were her eyes blue?
I can't remember.
Was it hot or cold,
August or December?
Did she have green eyes?
I still can't see her.
She's long gone,
Just like the weather.
Maybe she had brown eyes,
Just like leather.
But now she's left,
Maybe its for the better.
No she had gray eyes,
I wrote her a letter.
It got sent right back,
With a return-to-sender.
