I was lonely today as yesterday

Didn't know what to do with myself

Leafed through magazines of pretty things

Pulled scores of books from the shelf.

I stared at your dust-covered picture

Counted gold fish and steps in the hall

Picked up the phone to call someone

But there wasn't anyone to call.

Don't know why memories keep holding on

Hoping you'll drop by or change

Maybe it's me who needs more space

My own life, I need rearrange.
