Reprise

he gets that light racy feeling
in his heart he might feel faint
when he looks at her/ but doesn't tell
how he feels
almost like a child who doesn't want to go
he wants to see her face every day
even if he just walks by and says "hello"

when they talked he tried not to stare
when they walked he managed to walk carefully
the time is passing/ their meeting
is ending
he is mindful of this and tries not to be mindful
their meeting is ending like running out of
food or water or whatever is irreplaceable

when she is gone he is quiet
as all men are when beauty has passed
not sad not desperate / and yet
there is missing
every avenue is strange every road is long
when they may meet again he hopes
but as for when he does not know
