Oh, majesty of life, please don't escape me. It's getting later and the windowshades are drawn. I'm not the best that I could be But I'm trying to wait and see What can happen to a girl in her hometown
Chorus: Oh, the wilderness The unmade bed The aching head And oh the greying afternoon The diary that ends too soon
Oh sweet belief in love, I know you're somewhere No love is perfect but a true one must exist It's getting farther down the year I hope my autumn eyes will clear And let me recognize his soul When we have kissed
