Crooked Lines

Listen, I’ve seen this before
Listen, I’ve walked through that door
But why am I still here today?
Why have I not gone my way?
You were lovely, you were kind
Now you’ve gone and changed your mind
Is there something that won’t stray
In the change from night to day?
Strange to say at this hour
That you were all I had
When everything you gave me
You have taken back
Maybe we’re just crooked lines
I thought we got straight this time
Dancing through the old arcade
To the drums of the parade
Strange to say at this hour
That you were all I had
When everything you gave me
You have taken back
Vainly I reached out to fly
Thinking life might pass me by
End up down along the shore
Where no one knows me anymore
