How can you ask me How I have 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 damn fool thing to say The water is risin' The water is wide And your always standin' On the other side And then comes the moment I wake before dawn With hours to lie here alone And you seem so suprised 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
