Back in New York. The 31st floor. It seems somehow everything's changed. The kitchen's too small. Plates on the wall. The sound of machinery. May. Where have you been? Who were you running with? Wasn't he someone you used to call home. Where is the ring? Where is the boy who went travelling alone Chorus She is much better without me She walks through the gates of the country Hands at her side And I smile as I watch her walk by Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes She is better off now Verse 2 June. The curtain is shut. The patterns are cut. The maid who will wake you at dawn. Pulls out a chair. Pulls down your hair. It's just like you wanted July. What's going on What are you runnin' from Why are you sleeping alone on the floor. Some people change. Others hang on till they can't anymore Chorus. Solo She is much better without me She walks through the gates of the country Hands in the air And I smile as I watch her walk by Somehow I see there are ships in her eyes. She is much better now I can see if I should bother doing anymore.
