How can you ask me,\"how've I 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 surprised 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
