Lady Day - Rob Stewart

North winds have made my face a little older

And my back is bent through trying too hard

My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture

To place upon your white-washed wall

I’d like to stay but you have not asked me

Still I don’t really expect you to

Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day

Are we really that far apart

I wish the world could see you now Lady Day

Laughing down at your oldest friend

The one who shared just about all he had

In a one-sided love affair

I get scared when I remember too much

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

Wasted time I suppose you could say that, heh

Strange it don’t seem that way to me

But wait a minute

I don’t even think you’re listening

Just let me tell you how I really feel

I’ve seen the inside of your heart Lady Day

When you want to be shown the way

I loved you then as I love ya now, girl

La-la-la-la-la, la-la, ooh
