ONE
If I were a little dog
I could follow you home
I could lie with my head
On your lap
While you watched TV
With your husband
If I was a little cat
I could sit at your feet
And eat your left over lasagna
I could lie on your bed
And watch you doing your ironing
In your nightie
If I was a dark horse
You could ride me
Galloping for miles
Through forest glades
But I'm not
And there is no room
In your life
For me
Like the wind that searches
Through forest glades
I have no home
For a dwelling-place
Is not a home
Without a woman like you
When you hear the wind
In the trees late at night
Outside your bedroom window
Think about me.

TWO
Sometimes when you looked at me
You looked deep into my eyes
As if searching for something
Sometimes when you looked at me
I could see anger
Like lightning in your eyes
You were searching for something
And you could not find it
So you hated me
What you were looking for
Was there
I did love you
I still love you
But how could I forget
That you are another man's wife?
How could I tell you
That I had feelings for you?
There are some kinds of love
That can be spoken out loud
It is welcomed
Like the sunshine
There are some kinds of love
That are hidden away
A dark secret
Deep within your heart
I know how
To keep my feelings hidden
I know about
This kind of love
If I ever see you again
Talk to me
And you will find
What you have been searching for.

THREE
You have gone away
You are nothing but
A dream to me now
The sun is pale
The trees lose their leaves
In slumber they are silent
The song-birds have gone
To a warm and sunny place
Is that where you are now?
No. Only in my dreams
Do I see you by a warm sea
Bathed in the sunshine of the Levant
Only in my dreams
Are you my oriental bride
Your smile as warm as the sun
No. You see the same skies
As I do
You walk the same streets
I remember when at night
I looked down upon London
From a high place
I could see a myriad of lights
Like stars
And each one seemed to be
Like a home
Like a warm place
For people to be together
And I wondered
Where is my home?
Where is my place?
I think about you
Out among the stars
How can I find you now?
As I wander on a cold
And dark night
Were you just a dream?
