One night I saw all this 
The ship that drifted in 
And from that afternoon you changed 
Some fallen leaves were in the drive 
A stranger's voice above the wind 
The difference was the color of Lorraine 

She said that mourning almost tasted blue 
Oh Fraulein, that was you 

Your phone would ring and ring and ring 
The shadows on the beat 
A car abandoned long before, when I was free 
A message crumpled said something 
Yet the language was unknown 
Are old mistakes forgotten just like me 

She said she's leaving with the crowds 
She wants to throw this all away 
She said I'm thinking this out loud 
But that's what I thought you'd say 

One night I saw all this 
The man who paid the bill 
A glance along the noise 
Hey baby that's our song 
The seagulls all flew away 
And when I turned to ask you where 
And when I turned to ask you why 
You've gone
