Louise Paroles

Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say

Hello, Louise,
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile?

As if we were still lovers

She took a moment just to recognise
the man shed known so well before
And as he started to apologize
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would

He told Louise As if we were still lovers

It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
The memories of something really good
Something truly real, that you never found again

And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know

And so Louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile

As if they were still lovers
