I wipe the ashes from the soles of my shoes
I step off the sidewalk, thinking of you
I light the candles in my makeshift shrine
The wind brushes in and dries the tears from my eyes
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
How I wonder
Do you wonder where you are?
To keep your thoughts
I think your thoughts
You’re not here
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
I wonder
Do you wonder?
I breathe my warm breath on the windowpane
I scratch at the glass and leave the script of your name
I sleep with shadows and I search for your scent
They lay where you lay but can’t replace what you meant
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re goneGirl on the phone keeps a-ringing back
Her voice is smooth but the tone is bland
She's telling me this and she's telling me that
She talks about me and I must agree
With what she says about me
About how nice I can be
But it makes no difference to my mind
Girl on the phone keeps a-ringing back
She knows all my details - she's got my facts
She tells me my height and she knows my weight
She knows my age and says she's knows fate
And I must say - it's logical
What foresight she must have
I've got to meet her whenever I get time
Says she knows everything about me
Every word I've ever said
Every book I've ever read
She told me that we met along time ago
I can't think when but she should know
Girl on the phone keeps a-ringing back
Knows where I get my shirts and where I get my pants
Where I get my trousers where I get socks
My leg measurements and the size of my cock
And I must say it's un-nerving
To think that she knows me
Knows me so well - better than anyone
Better than myself
Says she knows everything about me
Every record I've listened to
Every window that I've looked through
She told me that we met along time ago
I can't think when but she should know
Girl on the phone keeps a-ringing back
She's telling me this and she's telling me that
