She's the girl that I once knew
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
Every time I tried to wake her up, she never wanted to
She came to me when I was down
Told me I could hang around
Since then things have never been the same
I don't know why she went away
Like the black clouds to the mountains fade away
Like the stars behind the clouds' eyes fade away
She's the girl that I once knew
Her love was here, but now it's gone to stay(?)
Oh, gone away
And (?) lovers look so lively
But you know they'll be silent when the wind blows
Silent in the wind
Yes, your boyfriends look so happy
But you know they'll be silent when the wind blows
Silent in the wind
She's the girl that I once knew
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
Every time she tried to wake me up, I never wanted to
She came to me when she was down
Asked if she could hang around
Since then things have never been the same
I had to make her go away
Like the black clouds to the mountains fade away
Like the stars behind the clouds' eyes fade away
She's the girl that I once knew
Her love was here, but now it's gone to stay(?)
Oh, gone away
And (?) lovers look so lively
But you know they'll be silent when the wind blows
Silent in the wind
Yes, your boyfriends look so happy
But you know they'll be silent when the wind blows
Silent in the wind
