She came from a foreign land,

tried to make it alone in the city life,

faded photos of days gone by

were the only way she had to look back.

 

I told her I was a stranger too,

she said well why don't we make this together,

and maybe then we can find a way

to make up for the things that we lack.

 

And lord knows, well I can't get her out of my mind,

yeah lord knows, no I can't get her out of my mind.

 

Cold winds down the Boulevard,

and warm nights by the river,

but every hour that passed I knew

I wasn't the man who would keep her.

 

Yeah and lord knows, well I can't get her out of my mind,

yeah lord knows, no I can't get her out of my mind.

 

Well life isn't easy, love isn't everything,

but dreams and reality, no they don't often meet,

and heartache and emptiness, yeah that's something we live with,

maybe the memories are worth more looking back.

 

Yeah and lord knows, well I can't get her out of my mind,

yeah lord knows, well I can't get her out of my mind.

 

Now the summer has been and gone,

and winter returns again,

and time passes the city by

yeah but not my feelings for you.

 

Yeah and lord knows, well I can't get her out of my mind.
