Hello, how have you been?
Where to begin, it's been so long
But I've been catching traces of your face
In different places where they don't belong
I know, you were in town lately
For a weekend by the sea
But you didn't call me.
Did you see the starlings murmurations by the pier
As the sun set in?
Cos I've been waiting tables
And whenever I am able to I drift away
Rehearse, replay
All the things I didn't say
Maybe it's better that way
So, you moved away -
Paris you say, but ain't it burning?
Funny how the world is turning
Time the Tyrant's trumpet blurting
March in line
I've been waiting tables
Saving pennies since last April
And I dream the day away
Rehearse, replay
All the things I didn't say
Maybe its better that way
Time is evil
And all the beautiful people are out
Im wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery
And woe is me
Its all the things I didn't say,
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way
Time is evil
And all the beautiful people are out
Im wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery
And woe is me
Its all the things I didn't say,
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way
