How can you ask me
How have I been
I think you should know well
The shape that Iâ??m in
You say that you wondered
If I was o.k.
Well thatâ??s a damn fool thing to say

The water is risinâ??
The water is wide
And your always standinâ??
On the other side
And then comes the moment
I wake before dawn
With hours to lie here alone

And you seem so surprised
That Iâ??m feelinâ?? this way
How am I so lonely today
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too

So hereâ??s to the lovers
For old times sake
Who donâ??t hold each other
To the promise they break
And smile through the window
And wave on the street
â??Cause thatâ??s all you want now from me

Should I say something
To put you at ease
Or should I get down on my knees
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too

If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too
