North winds have made my face a little older

and my back is bent through trying too hard

My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture

to place upon your white-washed wall

I'd like to stay but you have not asked me

Still I don't really expect you to

Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day

Are we really that far apart

I wish the world could see you now Lady Day

laughing down at your oldest friend

The one who shared just about all he had

in a one-sided love affair

I get scared when I remember too much



Wasted time I suppose you could say that

Strange it don't seem that way to me

But wait a minute

I don't even think you're listening

Just let me tell you how I really feel

I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day

when you wanted to be shown the way

I loved you then as I love ya now girl
