Now with a wonder, she wakes by the curtains, she knows That the morning brings an ending to our love And the window it shakes with a silence that grows Oh it hurts her but she's never never known
Oh it's not that bad when she goes 'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song Oh it's not that bad when she's away
She knows my name she knows it well And she knows my face more than herself But I wish her well
Here in the morning she wakes without warning, she cries, "Oh, I love you dear!" And this widow of old past insidious hearts Well she screams a lot and cries to be alone
So it's not that bad when she goes 'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song Oh it's not that bad when she's away
She knows my name, she knows it well And she knows my face, more than herself But I wish her well
Sometimes she stalks and moans like a ghost And the way she throws her words Well they hurt me to the bones They weigh me down like stones
Here, in the evening, my words are deceiving and cold And oh, with a wonder, our hearts torn asunder it shows That her love was just an excuse to be loved
So it's not that bad when she goes 'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song Oh it's not that bad when she goes 'Cause she sings my name like it's a sad, sad song
