Don’t recognise me, do you
We’re sitting face to face
Your mind is in another time
And in another place
I saw that when your eyes met mine
And still you seemed unmoved
You don’t recall this face at all
The one you said you loved

The bags are in the belfry
And now you’re on your own
The lights are shining brightly
But there’s nobody home
Your time has gone so quickly now
And nothing can replace
All these wasted years
Your friends don’t come around here
The way they used to do
Well, once they were so many
And now they are so few
But time has gone so quickly now
And nothing can replace
All these wasted years

There’s still a smile upon your face
You seem to be confused
By all these kindly strangers
Who come to visit you
The flowers on the table
The pictures on the wall
I thought it could be different
But now I’m not so sure

The bags…

They tell me that your much improved
But they can’t tell me why
I’ve talked and talked for hours
And still there’s no reply

The bags…
