I have waited in my room in the silence of a tune
And arranged it as it was the day she came
Lit the candles, made the bed, smoothed the pillow for a head
And imagined everything was just the same

But looking out from my window at the rain
I can see that she won't come back again
So I will wait till I know what to do
And I will go out and find someone new

I have waited all night long, I have played her favourite songs
I have listened for her footsteps just the same
And I knew that I was blind for in the darkness of my mind
It was no surprise to me, she never came

Now she's left me on my own, I must learn to live alone
And pull together what she's left me of my pride
I can see this is the end, it's no good to pretend
I must go for someone else to take my side

But looking out from my window at the rain
I can see that she won't come back again
So I will wait till I know what to do
And I will go out and find someone new
