I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers Found reasons to face each new day In a room filled with memories in a house built for love On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place My mind surrenders as all that remembers Comes to steal the moment away Yesterday is gone and where I stand here alone It's a hollow ringin' place called today Last night I watched baby as she was boardin' The Greyhound bus back to Saint Lou Lord, I couldn't let her know that I knew why she was leavin' Not after all we've been through Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said Hun it may get cold in Saint Lou And the look in her eyes, turned suddenly sad When she knew that I knew what she'd do Now my mind surrenders as all that remembers Comes to steal the moment away Yesterdays gone and where I stand here alone It's a hollow ringin' place called today
