lyrics

The photos on the mantelpiece look out beyond their frames
The dust that's settled on the glass has covered up their names
Images in black and white they're all that remains
Of the family and friends Alice knew.

She sits inside her living room, with the carpet torn to shreds
The sofa that she sits upon at night becomes her bed.
Dreaming in her innocence some day her prince will come
Patiently she sits for hours on end.

She says she remembers, she swears she always will
Mistletoe at Christmas, in Spring the daffodils
Sunshine in Summer, in Autumn the breeze
That blows away her wishes
Like leaves from the trees.

Alice says she doesn't mind
Though she gets a little down, from time to time
Alice says it's just her age
When you're getting on, you're not so strong

But Alice isn't lonely, she says she's all the friends she needs.
She's got a radio for company and that's fine.
But you watch her when you're leaving, see that smile upon her lips
And a tear sits in the corner of her eye.

She says she remembers, she swears she always will
Mistletoe at Christmas, in Spring the daffodils
Sunshine in Summer, in Autumn the breeze
That blows away her wishes
Like leaves from the trees.
