north winds have made my face a little older
and my back is bent through trying too hard
my vest is torn so i make no perfect picture
to place upon your white-washed wall
i'd like to stay but you have not asked me
still i don't really expect you to
dusty boots would shame you now lady day
are we really that far apart
i wish the world could see you now lady day
laughing down at your oldest friend
the one who shared just about all he had
in a one-sided love affair
i get scared when i remember too much
wasted time i suppose you could say that
strange it don't seem that way to me
but wait a minute
i don't even think you're listening
just let me tell you how i really feel
i've seen the inside of your heart lady day
when you wanted to be shown the way
i loved you then as i love ya now girl
