Someone That Looked Like You
I saw her on the tram
I saw you on the tram
It wasn’t you
It was someone that looked like you
*
Looked a lot like you
The color of her hair
The way she moved
Her face, but not her nose
*
She stepped on, went off
Before my tram stop
I had seen my surgeon
Not my day; that day
*
I saw her on the tram; again
It wasn’t you
Looked so like you
So close; but not you
*
I loved you then
You left; closed the door
I believed the door was closed shut
I believed I had walked away; free of you
*
She stepped on, went off
Before my tram stop
I had seen my surgeon that day
From sundown to sunrise; that day
*
I looked around; on the tram
Sitting there alone
Thinking of you
Thinking:
*
Do I turn around
Do I have to turn my head
Must I turn around; now
She sure looked a lot like you
