So how's your affair
With the millionaire with silver hair?
Does he care?

Your love affair, I am aware
Is void of love indeed


The greatest weight of all
Towers over your shoulders
While the longest wait of mine

Keeps playing over and over

These are simple times

And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure


I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely

If only you'd let me in

So look at you now

The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes

They'd be the same brown eyes

It would make my life to see you turn

I'd finally make my case
You'd--you'd run away and come with me
To destroy the human race


The greatest weight of all
Towers over your shoulders

While the longest wait of mine
Keeps playing over and over


These are simple times
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind

What I had left to treasure

I know it's been a while

But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in


So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around

And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes


You're not here
Every night is a nightmare


So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around

And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes


Just say you're never gonna do it again
