Louise
Written by Jo Callis, Phil Oakey, Philip Adrian Wright
Verse 1
When he saw her getting off the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
He drank his coffee, and he hurried out
Across, before she walked away
Then he approached her, like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say
Chorus 1
Hello, Louise
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile
As if we were still lovers?
Verse 2
She took a moment just to recognize
The man she'd known so well before
And as he started to apologise
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would
Chorus 2
He told Louise
"You look so good;
It's just, you see
You make me feel
As if we were still lovers"
Middle 8
It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
The memories of something really good
Something truly real, that you never found again
Verse 3
And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know
Chorus 3
And, so, Louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile
As if they were still lovers
