I remember the first time I saw you
|
You were drifting down Crouse Ave
|
You looked like a hot-country-Vermont
|
Though my eyes were never that good
|
Your head seemed to hold itself up high
|
On that long thin neck of yours
|
You glanced back although we never had passed
|
You lit a cigarette and smiled
|
And when we kissed it was electric
|
A chemist made us for each other
|
But I was far from being your only one
|
My roommate said he'd seen you before...
|
|
There's something missing in us
|
We try to make it whole
|
Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all
|
There's something missing in us
|
We long to make it whole
|
Though it never feels like it
|
I know you have it all
|
I know you have it all
|
|
We went to the social development dance
|
The whiskey went down easily
|
You kissed the best you had enormous breasts
|
And we wandered out really early
|
We were neighbors for a very short time
|
It all worked out quite wrong
|
When your boyfriend called
|
You pressed against the wall
|
..."oh I really gotta go now"....
|
|
There's something missing in us
|
We try to make it whole
|
Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all
|
There's something missing in us
|
We long to make it whole
|
Though it never feels like it
|
I know you have it all
|
I know you have it all
|
|
We'd move away when the winters were gone
|
I think I saw you once in the city
|
I heard you were staying up North with a friend
|
And that your hair was falling out
|
I tried to find out what had happened to you
|
I Googled you in quotes got no results
|
I never learned how you had died
|
But I knew how you had lived
|
|
There's something missing in us
|
We tried to make it whole
|
Though it never felt like it I know you had it all
|
There's something missing in us
|
We longed to make it whole
|
Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all
|
I know you had it all
|
Friend my friend, you left us in the end.
