Lyrics
He spends so many hours in himself
She wonders what he feels and if he dreams
She?s not a very solitary soul
It puzzles her how self-contained he seems
And often when she tires of sitting still
She tries to break his silence with a word
He listens quite politely, then returns
To some place where intrusions can?t be heard
And if she asks him, sometimes he holds her
And if she tells him, he will learn she?s changed her hair
She?ll never leave him, she?ll just try harder
To make herself believe that he is really there
She wishes she could just leave him alone
And even tries it every now and then
But when the distances become too wide
She has to make him notice her again
And through the shuttered window in her room
She watches couples walking hand in hand
And mourns the part of her that?s like a child
Who knows more than she wants to understand
And if she asks him,...
