She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

We grew up together

we've been here forever

barefoot in the summer

cold in stormy weather

she taught me all there is

like magic and love

lots of forgotten words

but now

she doesn't live here anymore

she's off and she's gone

she doesn't live here anymore

I'm sorry that's all there is to it

I'm sorry that's all

she dressed just like a painter

a female street Picasso

and I, I will remember

the heaven in her laughter

and the scent of her sweet perfume

when we made love

under an August moon

but now

she doesn't live here anymore

she's gone since long

she doesn't live here anymore

I'm sorry that's all there is to it

I'm sorry that's all

but now

she doesn't live here anymore

she's off and she's gone

she doesn't live here anymore

she's gone since long, so long

she doesn't live here anymore

she took off and left home

she doesn't live here anymore

I'm sorry that's all there is to it

I'm sorry that's all

that's all
