Traded In Your Name

Every time I see you walk by

My heart skips a beat and I sigh

The laurels sure have grown

Since you left our happy home.

Outside my window it's grey

The yellow city lights are in flames

My heart has turned to stone

Since you left our happy home.

The look in your eye was like an angel from sky

But the sky don't look the same since you traded in your name.

It's evening, it's so black

Oh, darling it's you that I lack

Won't you throw me a bone

You left our happy home.

The leaves are falling they're nearly gone

They're scattered outside on the lawn

I haven't picked up the telephone

Since you left our happy home.

The look in your eye was like an angel from sky

But the sky don't look the same since you traded in your name.

You got me crying, I can barely see

Oh, the grief has overtaken me

My life has been postponed

Since you left our happy home.

The look in your eye was like an angel from sky

But the sky don't look the same since you traded in your name.
