She went away in winter when the leaves are hung with snow,

I searched for her and searched for her as I could not let go,

And finally when I found her after fifteen years of fret,

She looked me in the eyes and said, "I'm sorry, have we met?"

It's funny what can trigger a daydream:

The smallest nothing is often enough

To make me forget real life and set off

On some vague journey through my favourite theme

Of how wonderful existence would be

If I had more luck. Yes, such dreams, Lord knows,

Help pass the time, but it does worry me

A little that the gap between what goes

There's a whirlwind in Wyoming

There's a power cut in Paris
   There's a panic in Peru...
But what the hell do I care
   When I'm lying here with you?

There's a flood in Famagusta
    There's a famine in Milan
There's an avalanche in Aspen
     And another in Japan
There's a deluge in New Dehli
   ...
