Fade away On the day That you said You'd always Stay. Took the time Just to say You had no time On the day Couldn't stay. There you sat On the bus Hair pulled back So no fuss On the way To the place You say you work where you complain 'bout all the jerks everyday. And there's no trace No tracks of tears On your face You could cry But not today. Bought you roses In a bunch Tied in ribbons I had a hunch You'd be home. Rang the bell Tried the door Peered through the windows And scanned the floor. I was wrong. Left the flowers On the front stairs No note because No real cares That night.
