You're appearance was a distraction, From lonliness to satisfation. That didn't work out so well. Me alone. Nor did that. Would you be coming back, Penny? In clear weather. Move your hands to clear the cobweb haze? Pose for new pics. Talk about old times. Good times? What would we do? Camelots and forget-me-nots, Oysters and chilled wine, Myths. I don't know you. You're not the same. I know your name. So, so long. Way too long. I speak to you, Make small talk to greet you. But it's wrong. So very, very wrong. You're the same. You know my name. The man who worried and laughed too, Has gone. Dead. Then rose up. You're new. Our paths are overgrown With landmarks pointing Where once was home.

Where Once Was Home
You're appearance was a distraction, From lonliness to satisfation. That didn't work out so well. Me alone. Nor did that. Would you be coming back, Penny? In clear weather. Move your hands to clear the cobweb haze? Pose for new pics. Talk about old times. Good times? What would we do? Camelots and forget-me-nots, Oysters and chilled wine, Myths. I don't know you. You're not the same. I know your name. So, so long. Way too long. I speak to you, Make small talk to greet you. But it's wrong. So very, very wrong. You're the same. You know my name. The man who worried and laughed too, Has gone. Dead. Then rose up. You're new. Our paths are overgrown With landmarks pointing Where once was home.
