   Wrapping paper in  the gutter
   Moving slowly as  the wind on the
  sea,  (Faces calling, waves  moving)
  In  your picture  on a wall  of a house of old
  times.(Can  you hear me) Can  you hear me (Can you hear me) Wandering
  sadly?
 In the city, feeling pretty,
 Down and out and making love to you on the
 shore, (Ruined buildings, faces empty)
 In the picture as I gaze ahead and don't
 see (That they're calling) That they're calling. (That they're calling) Wandering sadly.
 
 
   Shattered windows, stairs  to nowhere.
 
 (Hear  you calling) Hear  you calling (Hear you calling) As I wander so
 sadly.
   Wish I knew what  you'd done to me;
   Turned me on  to things  I never  knew.
   It's all broken, weeds  are growing.
   Wish I was  going  home to the house by the
 shore  (Where you loved me)  Where you loved me, (Where you loved me) Loved me
 so  sadly.
 Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it.
 I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me.
 (Walk together, tread the weeds down)
 Kiss again in the picture on the wall
 (Where I loved you) In the old house.
 (Where I loved you) Loved you so well.
