Louise

Human League

When he saw her getting of the bus


It seemed to wipe away the years


Her face was older, just a little rough


But her eyes were still so clear


He drank his coffee and he hurried out


Across before she walked away


Then he approached her like a little child


Too scared for what he had to say





"Hello Louise,


Remember me?


Now should we part


Or stay awhile?


As if we were still lovers"





She took a moment just to recognise


The man she'd known so well before


And as he started to apologise


Lose any bitterness she bore


She gently put her finger on his lips


To let him know she understood


And with her suit case standing on the floor


Embraced him like a lover would





He told Louise


"You look so good


It's just you see


You make me feel


As if we were still lovers"





[Spoken:]


It's not always true that time heals all wounds.


There are wounds that you don't wanna heal,


the memories of something really good,


something truly real, that you never found again.





And though they talked for just a little time


Before she said she had to go


He saw the meeting as a tiny sign


That told him all he had to know





And so Louise


Waved from the bus


And as she left


She gave that smile


As if they were still lovers
