All alone, she waits at the window   While the sun sets in the sea   Is that the sound of his footsteps?   That echo in the hall   And then they fade away   No, it wasn't him after all      He was gone in the early morning   And he said, he wouldn't be long   But that was spring and now   That the leaves have all turned brown   She only shares her bed with   The loneliness she has found      Still she waits alone at the window   For the one who wandered away   Each day the room grows colder   Her tears grow harder to hold   And still she saves her love   For the day she knows he'll come home      Is that the sound of his footsteps?   That echo in the hall   And then they fade away   No, it wasn't him after all
