He wonders about her 
Does she think about him 
Does she really see him 
For all that he was? 

Now that it's over 
There's nowhere to turn to 
No-one to run to 
He's just alone 
With his memories 

His desire 
His need 
Keeps him here 

The rest of the people 
Gather around her 
Holding her up 
With their love and their care 
Does she percieve 
The ripple behind her 
The glittering longing 
Of love, long lost 

Turning away 
From the casket 
She falters 
Catching herself 
In the steps of a dream 

Beginning to cry 
She casts the pennies around her 
And falls to the ground 
As her world tears apart 
She's so lonely without him 
And he never knew...
