Oh, majesty of life, please don't escape me. It's getting later and the window shades are down. I'm not the best that I can be And I'm trying to wait and see What can happen to a girl in her hometown And oh, the wilderness The unmade bed The aching head And oh the greying afternoon The diary that ends too soon Oh sweet belief in love, I know you're somewhere No love is perfect but a true one must exist It's getting farther down the year I hope my autumn eyes will clear And let me recognize his soul When we have kissed And oh, the wilderness The unmade bed The aching head And oh the greying afternoon The diary that ends too soon I'm not the best that I can be But I'm trying to wait and see What can happen to a girl in her hometown And oh, the wilderness The unmade bed The aching head And oh the greying afternoon The diary that ends too soon
