Old Lovers in Dressing Rooms

It wasn't very long for us
 When you're young it isn't hard to trust
 I told her I was seventeen
 She says that's how she still remembers me
 I haven't many words to say
 I thought about you every day
 And she seems disappointed
 When I say that I'm not happy yet
 And I ask her if she liked the show
 She says she heard me on the radio
 And only works a few blocks down the street
 She leaves her coat on but she takes a seat
 And was it really that worth writing about?
 They say your record deal is over now
 And did you love me like the way you wrote?
 Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so
 ♪
 She tells me she is happy now
 She really loves him and they have a house
 I say I'm glad for her and should have known
 I have one too now but I live alone
 "Is it really you behind that beard?"
 I say I think so and we count the years
 We tell stories and we sort of laugh
 And then she jokes she wants my autograph
 And was really how you sing it, dear?
 Oh I remember worse than blood and tears
 And did you love me like the way you wrote?
 Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so
 She smiles and says she has to go
 I'm left in silence all alone
 'Til they come and say I've gotta leave
 They say there's people that I have to meet
