How can you ask me how have I been?
  I think you should know well the shape that I'm in
  You tell me you wonder if I was okay
  Well that's a damn fool thing to say
    The water is risin, the water is ride
  And you're always standin on the other side
  And then comes the moment, I wait in the dawn
  With hours to lie here alone
    And you seem so surprised that I'm feelin this way
  How am I so lonely today?
  If you ever loved me the way I loved you
  You would be lonely too
    So here's to the lovers for old times' sake
  Who don't hold each other to the promise they break
  And smile through the window
  And wave on the street
  Cause that's all you want now from me
    Should I say somethin 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
