Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way, your way
Gathered in gardens and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head?
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way, their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say and I wonder
Does it really have to be this way?
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone
Until the darkness came
Just one more room where
Everybody knew your name
Friends and lovers
Ever apart from the others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said?
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head?
You were there
You were there
I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
