Do you wonder what I'm up to now, old lover,
What was done to me by time and space and light?
Well, I'm standing in some window naked,
Smiling as the sky is breaking
Into scarlet, purple, blue and night.
In the age of 21,
Still a dreamer, still too young,
Still too much for anyone to handle.

Oh, you taught me beauty sad and still,
And you taught me love against my will
I just thought I'll tell you  I remember...
As I'm standing in my window naked,
Full of hopes you have forsaken,
Searching for your chance of breaking free,
And as it's getting cold and late,
I'm coming to appreciate
How brave you were to ever stand by me.
