[Verse 1] I will light a hundred candles for you dear
Just in case you're looking out
Waiting for a signal
I will lay out the table for your plate
Though it seems you're long delayed
I hope you know I'll wait

[Chorus] Maybe you won't recognise me
All this time, I've been searching
For a life that was left behind
All this time, I've been searching
For something that's been and gone, gone

[Verse 2] Yesterday, when I tried to see your face
All the features were replaced
How can memories change?
Photographs you left behind
Never match up in my mind
Have your looks aged like mine?

[Chorus] Maybe you don't recognise
All this time, I've been searching
For a life that was left behind
All this time, I've been searching
For something that's been and gone, gone

[Bridge] I've been searching for you
So long, so long, so long
I've been searching for you
So long, so long, so long
I've been searching for you
So long, so long, so long
And you don't recognise me
From a life left behind me
Oh no, you don't recognise me

[Chorus] Maybe you won't recognise me
All this time, I've been searching
For a life that was left behind
All this time, I've been searching
For something that's been and gone, gone

[Outro] My baby
You don't recognise me all this time
A life we left behind all this time
You don't recognise me
You don't recognise me
