I Lost You
Elvis Costello
I LOST YOU (Lauderdale/McManus) Intro: ...... I Lost You I Lost You You slipped from your costume Like an actress in this tragedy You’re just an apparition in a haunting mystery I fear that you’ve passed over me... And there’s nothing I can do because I Lost You Just like a rich man who is careless of his change I took you for granted And then you went to strangers From deep within my heart I feel a distant fading pulse A poor woman looking for the last coin in her purse
