"Lost In The Crowd" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

She stared into my eyes
She said, don't follow me
Where I'm going, that's no world for you
She said, it doesn't mean
It wasn't real for me
You just don't understand
This is the hardest thing I'll ever do
And as she walked away
I followed anyway
But the night was like a shroud
She was Lost In The Crowd

If I was thinking clear
If I was thinking right
I never would have let her out of my sight
And when she left I stood there
Like my feet were made of clay
I was lost for words to say
I couldn't think she'd really go away
And as I hesitated
The night was like a shroud
She was Lost In The Crowd
