Lady Day

LADY DAY
(Rod 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

Wasted time
I suppose you could say that
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 wanted
to be shown the way
I loved you then
as I love ya now, girl.

Rod Stewart
