Pardon me, but I feel I know you
Yes you
You in the cambric shirt
Long ago, sometime long ago
I met you in a graveyard

Hey, don't deny it
'Cause I've seen you around
I know I have so don't turn away
I recall your solemn face
And I recall your shy disgrace
Hey, hey can't you hear me?
Why can't you hear me?

I remember where I met you
You were the clown in the graveyard
But big girls never cry
So you just stood by
And pretended that everything was alright
Yeah, everything was alright
And I remember

'Cause you were the girl
 Who never got the boy
And you were the girl
 Who never raised her voice
You were the girl who was always left alone
And you were the girl who just stood by
And pretended not to notice 
You were the girl
Who was always left alone

In the graveyard
You stood by
 And pretended not to notice
You were alone in the graveyard
