See my love as she walks out the door
Hang my head and I stare at the floor
Then I think about the stars in the sky
Pins in the curtain if not so high

Now she's gone out alone on the shore
I shoulda locked my bedroom door
When I look up I can't believe my sight
My vision's strangled by the hands and eye

Ba ba ba ba, can't you see I'm crying
Ba ba ba ba, there's no denying

When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at all
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at all

See my love as the morning breaks
Am I asleep or am I awake?
What is happening, how did we get here?
Am I a leaf of a tree of tears

Ba ba ba ba, can't you see I'm crying
Ba ba ba ba, there's no denying

When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at all
When you're not there, you don't know if they care
When you're not there, you don't know if they care at all

See my love as she walks out the door
Feels like I've been here before
Now my feelings are laid on the shelf
She whispers softly as …. (?)

Ba ba ba ba, I can see you're crying
Ba ba ba ba, still no denying

When I'm not there, you don't know if I care
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care at all
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care
When I'm not there, you don't know if I care at all
