Lyrics
I Saw Two Lovers By Einen
I saw two lovers kissing in the dark
by a lamppost in the park.
I was captured by their rapture
'til I saw them pull apart.
I couldn't move
There was nothing I could do
When I saw that it was you.
But I felt the broken pieces
Of my heart falling apart.
Their eyes were fixed
on each other's smiling face
As they held their warm embrace.
I watched a woman walking
with a man I never knew
And they passed me in the fog
As the lamplight filtered through.
