Here we are two strangers in a very different place Who knows what will happen to us next? A goodbye just as soon as I said ‘hello’ What’s the difference if it all could have been true?
It’s not surprising it could end like this Your eyes are open even when you kiss You’re so distant So cold, so resistant
And you stare out the window at the passing cars And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars No you’re never quite happy right where you are Right where you, with all that you are
So you keep on Inventing shadows Where there are none No, there are none
With an unrequited love When your passions exaltation Then finding refuge is not enough
When July became December Their affection fought the cold But they couldn’t quite remember what inspired them to go And it was beautifully depressing Like a streetcar named desire They were fighting for their love and started growing tired
Oh memories where’d you go You were all I’ve ever known
