ellow curtains shining down on me
Do you see what I see?
Why am I not happy?

Drops are getting in my shoes
And laces none can take away my blues
Are you only passing through?
Or are you gonna love me?

All I see is this
All I see is this
All I see is this

Are you gonna love me?

Yellow curtains shining down on me




Do you see what I see?
Why am I not happy?
