Oh, majesty of life, please don't escape me.

It's getting later and the windowshades are drawn.

I'm not the best that I could be

But I'm trying to wait and see

What can happen to a girl in her hometown



Chorus:

Oh, the wilderness

The unmade bed

The aching head

And oh the greying afternoon

The diary that ends too soon



Oh sweet belief in love, I know you're somewhere

No love is perfect but a true one must exist

It's getting farther down the year

I hope my autumn eyes will clear

And let me recognize his soul

When we have kissed



Repeat Chorus
