Two Weeks Since Youve Gone by Scott Walker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two weeks since you've gone
And I feel like the tramp
Picking dustbins in the alley
He looks up as I pass
Clutching rags from a city's restless night
[Verse 2]
I could read all my sadness
In faces I knew
Down at Kelly's bar last Friday
And I haven't been back since I mistook
Somebody for a friend
[Chorus]
And if I walk these streets long enough
Will you happen to me again?
[Verse 3]
With whom are you sharing
The sweet taste of summer?
My memories pursue you
Through puddles of rain
The rivers inside me still flow
To the sea of your hands
[Chorus]
And if I close my eyes long enough
Will you happen to me again?
Two weeks since you've gone
And I feel like the tramp
Picking dustbins in the alley
He looks up as I pass
Clutching rags from a city's restless night
[Verse 2]
I could read all my sadness
In faces I knew
Down at Kelly's bar last Friday
And I haven't been back since I mistook
Somebody for a friend
[Chorus]
And if I walk these streets long enough
Will you happen to me again?
[Verse 3]
With whom are you sharing
The sweet taste of summer?
My memories pursue you
Through puddles of rain
The rivers inside me still flow
To the sea of your hands
[Chorus]
And if I close my eyes long enough
Will you happen to me again?
