And now the sun has broken through, it looks like it will stay
Just can’t have you comin’ home on such a rainy day
The train is leaving Ellensville, unless my watch is fast
The kids are comin’ home from school, must be quarter past
So many changes since you’ve [...]

Old Watertown, nothing much happenin’, down on Main, ‘cept a little rain
Old Watertown, everyone knows, the perfect crime, killin’ time
And no one’s goin’ anywhere, livin’s much too easy there
It can never be a lonely place when there’s the shelter of familiar faces
Who can say it’s not [...]

You always looked a little out of place, all grown up with freckles on your face
We’d spend each night with company, just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be, you always had a thousand things to do
Getting all [...]

Michael is you, he has your face, he still has your eyes
Remember, Peter is me, ‘cept when he smiles
And if you look at them both for a while
You can see they are you, they are me
This spring we had some heavy rain, my summer it was [...]

If I lived the past over, saw today from yesterday
I would be in love anyway
If I knew that you’d leave me, if I knew you wouldn’t stay
I would be in love anyway
Sometimes I think, think about before
Sometime I think, if I knew then what I know [...]

Her day was born in shades of blue, her song was sad the words were true
Her morning came too fast too soon, and died before the afternoon
Poor lady day could use some love, some sunshine, Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some [...]

Lost in day to day, turn another way
With a laugh, a kind hello, some small talk with those I know
I forget that I’m not over you for a while
A wave an easy grin, a smile to put them in
With other lives to listen to and some [...]

There is no great big ending, no sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble, and she doesn’t even cry
And just as I begin to say that we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
There is no [...]

Dressed in dreams for me, you were what I wished to see, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Love was very new, make believe was coming true, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
You were all much too much, out of reach and out of touch
When you came to me, I found it could never be, [...]
