Early this morning you left without a goodbye
a look through the window heavy clouds in the sky
my hands looking for you end up in emptiness
you're getting the morning paper, is what I guess
but the slam of the door is quite too loud
the sheets around my body suddenly feel like a shroud
your sweet perfume is still hanging in the air
your scent in the pillow is much too much for me to bear

Why do you run away from me
is it the fact that you want to be free
the piece you took of my heart
that I gave you then for a new start
is floating away
why do you run away from me
is is the fact that you want to be free
I'm left right here all alone
the best piece of my heart has gone
tell me please why don't you stay

I'm waiting for the door to slam again
I hear your voice saying you are the man
you're the man with whom I'd like to spend the rest
of my life trying to work out the best
I feel your breath and your tender embrace
your hand is wandering slowly across my face
suddenly I realize that it was just a dream
I miss the shoulder onto which I used to lean
