Rang the bell
Just to leave
And the papers do say
In some legal term way
It's o'er
As you walk out the door

You look back
Just a glance
And you want a reply
To the window-paned stare

Still in shock looking dumb
Knowing that the answers to questions

The pain Of lover's past
The lull Of Billies cries
And the words

And I dream As I wake
That you're there in her arms
Falling prey to her charms
Your laugh It still hangs in the air

I get up For my sake
'Cause the thoughts in my head
Have me wishin
