He Watches Her From Behind - Stina Nordenstam

He watches her from behind

As she walks across the floor

Doesn’t move, no But his eyes caress her shoulders

While the coffee he bought gets cold

He watches her from behind

So she knows and she won’t turn

But her hands shake

It’s a shame she won’t see the smile he wears

Cause it’s only for her he smiles

I guess I knew from the start

He wouldn’t play the main part

I guess I knew all along

He would appear in this song

Pretending this is a film

Now a close-up on her neck

And some soft lights

But the film will no reveal her voice

Cause this script doesn’t have any lines

I guess I knew from the start

He wouldn’t play the main part

I guess I knew all along

He would appear in this song

He watches her from behind

While her girlfriend gives advice

Doesn’t listen

But her mind’s obsessed with one desire

How she wants him to see her face

He watches her from behind

And that’s all there’ll ever be And don’t blame her

Another life or some other cafe

And they just might have found a way

I guess I knew from the start

He wouldn’t play the main part

I guess I knew all along

He would appear in this song
