In the town of the high lake bay A woman's waiting for another sign Of unrequited love The last of a long list I only want my love to come home I wonder why can't his day be mine He's so blind Or, maybe, am I? I save my tears, I lock 'em inside I hope it is enough When he comes in By the front door Right away he's gone And you step out lookin' for his smile When you ask me where he's gone this time Oilì oilì oilà, I wanna lie In those years of solitude I was a tear on the face of youth Then came you My gratitude, my lily from the sky Baby hush, Baby be calm and keep the dreams In your heart just as clean as they are tonight But give them a high price So only a few can get in And be kind to your love He will come in by the front door He'll revere your name He will treasure these bright eyes of mine But if you ask me where my love has gone this time I wanna lie I wanna lie
