Track 7 from Ten Golden Oldies.

Untitled Two

She sat alone on a bench smoking a mentholated cigarette
And reading a book about Buddhist philosophy or the communist regime
So I sat down beside her listening to the wind in the trees
And I looked in her eyes but she never noticed me and she will never know that

By tomorrow I’ll forget her face
And I won’t remember the chords to this song

She was gone before I could say hello
And I was lost in my own embrace
She walked away and never looked back at me
And she left me laughing at my shadow

Pretty rich girl waiting for someone good to come along
And sweep her off her feet but she never talked to me and I will never be the same
She’s struggling with herself hoping that someone will notice her so
She can sleep at night (thinking) she is the only one that really matters here but

By tomorrow I’ll forget her name
And I won’t remember the words to this song

She was gone before I could say hello
And I was lost in my own embrace
She walked away and never looked back at me
And she left me dancing with my shadow

She came across the sea looking for something she could believe in
I don’t remember why she came into my life but just as quickly she was gone
She stopped to talk to me something ‘bout how our lives come down to this
And I smiled back at her and I saw that look in her eyes but I know it won’t last forever

‘Cause by tomorrow I’ll forget her name
And I won’t remember the chords to this song

She was gone before I could say hello
And I was lost in my own embrace
She walked away and never looked back at me
And she left me crying with my shadow
