Was It Always So . . .
Was it always so
That I was truly alone
I never did notice
When others came or left
Was it always so
That you had always come
I never did notice
When you appeared
Was it always so
That I had naught but strife
I never did notice
When I had such
Was it always so
That everyone noticed
I never did notice
When these things happened
Was it always so
That I was supposed to
I never did notice
When was it that it began
Was it always so
That everything was changing
I never did notice
When did you try to show me
Was it always so
That you wasted away
I never did notice
When you withered beside me
Was it always so
That you continued to pursue me
I never did notice
When you made fruitless attempts
Was it always so
That life was so uneventful
I never did notice
When you grew old
Was it always so
That life was so hard to understand
I never did notice
When you died
Was it always so
That beside me as you lay
I never did notice
When the tears wet my face
That I was truly alone
I never did notice
When others came or left
Was it always so
That you had always come
I never did notice
When you appeared
Was it always so
That I had naught but strife
I never did notice
When I had such
Was it always so
That everyone noticed
I never did notice
When these things happened
Was it always so
That I was supposed to
I never did notice
When was it that it began
Was it always so
That everything was changing
I never did notice
When did you try to show me
Was it always so
That you wasted away
I never did notice
When you withered beside me
Was it always so
That you continued to pursue me
I never did notice
When you made fruitless attempts
Was it always so
That life was so uneventful
I never did notice
When you grew old
Was it always so
That life was so hard to understand
I never did notice
When you died
Was it always so
That beside me as you lay
I never did notice
When the tears wet my face
