They live separately together
Their eyes never touch
The lonely nights are oh so long
And the silence hurts so much
They both need understanding
But she needs a whole lot more
In her heart and mind she's already gone
She's just not sure what she's waiting for
She knows he
loved her once
But she just can't remember when
Another birthday just slipped by
With no flowers or love, from him
Their children are all scattered
Like leaves before the wind
There's nothing left to hold her now
She's finally giving up on him
She knows that he won't miss her
But people change and dreams die
Visions and hope just disappear
She
knows he loved her once
But she just can't remember when
Another birthday just slipped by
With no flowers or love, from him
She's got to get away, (ay-ay-ay)
Forget these wasted years
She's got to count some miles (iles-iles-iles)
Not all these tears
She's got to get away, (ay-ay-ay)
Far, far from here
She's got to count some miles, (iles, iles, iles)
Not all these tears.
