i walked by your window
to see if you're home
the candle was burning
i could see you weren't alone
i shouldn't have gone by
but what could i do
i've never known anyone
who was quite like you


life ain't very easy when you've got
a permanent broken heart


i walk down the dirty street
and see the old man
but now he seems different
i think i understand
well maybe he had a love
and swore it was true
but then he blew it away
just like i lost you


life ain't very easy when you've got
a permanent broken heart


i'm looking out my window
there's not much of a view
and my hat is still quite blue


maybe i'll move away
to some other town
and maybe i'll find that thing
i've never found
