Big Louise - Scott Walker

She stands all alone

You can hear her hum softly

From her fire escape in the sky

She fills the bags 'neath her eyes

With the moonbeams

And cries 'cause the world’s passed her by

Didn’t time sound sweet yesterday?

In a world filled with friends

You lose your way

She’s a haunted house

And her windows are broken

And the sad young man’s gone away

Her bathrobe’s torn

And tears smudge her lipstick

And the neighbors just whisper all day

Didn’t time sounds sweet yesterday?

In a world filled with friends

You lose your way
