Her picture lies
In a small, delicate frame
With a card bearing her name
You pass it by
Every day, it’s always the same
Now that time has buried the pain
Nothing was wrong
Till you heard her favorite song
Memories rush in
There you are again
And just for one night
She came back
Back to life
It was clear and it was bright
She came back
Back to life
You find yourself
With that small, delicate frame
Who cannot remember her name
Like someone else
Only dull confusion remains
So you sing a simple refrain
And everything was wrong
Till she heard her favorite song
Melodies rush in
There she is again
And just for one night
She came back
Back to life
It was clear and it was bright
She came back
Back to life
Yeah, just for one night
She came back
Back to life
It was clear and it was bright
She came back
Back to life
She came back
Back to life

The snow’s falling hard
And it blankets the pines
While the wind tests the telephone lines
I lie on my couch
Watching reruns till dawn
And I wonder, where have you gone?
It’s nothing new
Nothing new
How about you?
Are you thinking of me?
If I called you up, where would you be?
Another hotel
In another strange bed
With my face miles away from your head
Is it true?
Is it true?
Oh Deanna
Come and take me away
Any place but Manhattan will do
Oh Deanna
I know you can’t stay
But when all of your traveling is through
I will be waiting for
You and I
Never could get it right
Two silhouettes tangled up in the night
So how can I be sure?
Should I speak my mind?
Or am I a little too lazy to find
Someone new?
Someone new
But if any other should stand in our way
I would tear off the locks from the doors just to say
Oh Deanna
Let me take you away
Cos the way that he holds you won’t do
Oh Deanna
Maybe not today
But when you and your lover are through
I will be waiting

Here is the closet where you used to hang your shirts
And for the first time now, it doesn’t really hurt
When I open up the door and I see the emptiness
Oh I think I’m getting used to this
There is the bar where we went on our first date
When I walk by now, it barely even aches
And it only takes an hour or two before I can forget
Oh I think I’m getting used to this
I’ve been going out with friends
I’ve been making people laugh again
I’ve been crying less and less
I think
Yeah I think I’m getting used to this
There is a person I’ve been out with once or twice
He buys me alcohol, treats me pretty nice
And he doesn’t seem to notice that I barely move my lips
Oh I think I’m getting used to this
I’ve been letting people in
I’ve been learning how to trust again
I’ve been lonely less and less
I think
Yeah I think I’m getting used to this
I’ve been sleeping through the night
I’ve been getting back my appetite
I’ve been crying less and less
I think
Yeah I think I’m getting used to this
Yeah I think
Yeah I think I’m getting used to this

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout “Paint It, Black”
Rock 'n’ roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, let me know
If it's no, I can go
I won't make you
