I saw you today
where you left me last
and I know that

you saw me too
and I felt it again
all the pain and despair
that I felt when you
said we were through

since then I’ve grown old
among hard hostile faces

girl after girl

play after play
and my love is exploited

for frigid embraces
that’s why it hurt

when I saw you today

your eyes were both darkness

and beauty
and rung bells of some lost
olden day
and I longed for your kiss

and I longed your body
oh Lord how it hurt

when I saw you today

perhaps
soon

you’ll hear that I fell

and you’ll wonder how
that can be true

then remember my dearest

you saw me today
and know in your heart
that I saw you too
