Hello, hello?
Please just answer yes or no
Where did you go?
The answer no one seems to know

I knew I saw your face somewhere in the crowd
A face as familiar as my own
It was so jarring, I couldn’t speak out loud
My throat closed up, my chance was blown.

We saw each other later that night
In one of those more-or-less sort of ways
You were a pupil in a sea of white
An eye that soon met my gaze

The snowy streets were trembling
With the music from the corner bar
I don’t have trouble remembering
Any detail except who you are.

The streets behind you were cobblestone
But you never brought yourself to me
I don’t remember being all alone
But I’m not known for clarity

Winter seems to take up every season
You carried springtime in the folds of your dress
I know you could melt the snow again
But you don’t seem to be at the same address.

I’ve been wondering, where did you go?
Have you fallen asleep in the fallen snow?
I’m giving my best
I’m kind of depressed
Have I lost something this important before?

I’ve been searching, because I don’t know
The last time I saw you was so long ago
Your voice and face
My mind misplaced
I don’t even see you in my dreams anymore

I wish I had a magic eye
That I could place a thousand times
I’d place them above like stars in the sky
You would be last sight each eye finds.

Because you never happen where I look
But a single memory will show
I can feel the piece of me that you took
And that you took that piece a long time ago.

I’ve been wondering, where did you go?
Have you fallen asleep in the fallen snow?
I’m giving my best
I’m kind of depressed
Have I lost something this important before?

I’ve been searching, because I don’t know
The last time I saw you was so long ago
Your voice and face
My mind misplaced
I don’t even see you in my dreams anymore

Loneliness is something that any woman could cure
But I know that I’m in need of so much more
It’s a disease of the eyes, a warped point of view
My eyes tend to wander if they’re not fixed on you

Listen if you’re deaf, see if you’re blind
Try to think about it if you’ve lost your mind
I returned to the bar with more time to waste
But you erased every trace of you from that place

I’ve been wondering, where did you go?
Have you fallen asleep in the fallen snow?
I’m giving my best
I’m kind of depressed
Have I lost something this important before?

I’ve been searching, because I don’t know
The last time I saw you was so long ago
Your voice and face
My mind misplaced
I don’t even see you in my dreams anymore
