Lady Day

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
