Lady in Satin

You've changed

and I know it's not for me to say.

I'm a fool to still want you,

all of you,

since you don't know what love is

and I've been getting along without.

But it's easy to remember,

when it's sleepy time down south,

that I once gave violets for your furs,

their smell,

never to smile again.

But don't worry about me,

for all we know

we're glad to be unhappy, 

away, apart maybe,

but beautiful baby

if you do come back home

(and I'll know the sound)

to give me one more chance

I'll be around.
