about

Original recording 1999
(The Accused)

Performed by Colin Vearncombe

lyrics

Tell me have you seen her
Did she look the same as before?
The last time that I saw her I swore that
I didn't know that she was who she was
But if I try I can still see that look in her eyes
The one that went missing, it’s not all I’m missing
From the way she was before

And tell me how d'you find her
Did she look like she was having fun?
Smiling at a stranger is when she's dangerous
Never ashamed of what she has done
But if I try I can still see that look in her eyes
The one that went missing, it’s not all I’m missing
From the way she was before

The clothes that she wore
I loved the way she walked
The jokes she loved to tell
I loved the way she smelled
And it was fun while it lasted
It didn't last long and I'm not bitter
I just miss her the way she was before
