Said I'm a willow bending in your mind.
I'm a mirror cracked from side to side.
I'm a snow-covered mountain.
In an empty room.
I'm a house that burns down,
Every night, for you.

Said I'm a doorway leading to the dark.
I'm a liquid you're dissolving in.
I'm a policeman, working
In an empty house.
I'm a distant steeple
On a long-deserted plain.

Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you.

Said I'm a pattern on a china bowl.
I'm a memory, engraved upon your soul.
I'm a prison cell without a door.
I'm a finger, drawing
On a frosty window pane.

Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you.
Sometimes when I'm lonely,
Baby, then I'm only you.
