A place where everything sits and weeps in Hatred of that long-gone man who sweeps in Wreaking havoc on all that passes by From caterpillar to young butterfly And thus my life grew, and thus it so passed Catching my breath and catching you, outcast, Down in the dumps about the girl you had She was sometimes good and was sometimes bad And so I stepped down, out of the rainbow My last to be seen until you went low Found another girl, found another life Took that train far away to your new wife Gone are my happy days, gone is my youth Gone, that time living in telephone booth Days filled with such passionate desire But so passed our love, so it grew higher And so is the scripture of lives unfurled And I grew old, and welcome to my world A place where everything sits and weeps in Hatred of that long-gone man who sweeps in
