Summer in the city’s hot, but winter in a village is oh so lonesome
You said I’d retrace your steps, but the bars have different names now
I’m so glad you are home now
We’re all glad you’re back
You don’t even know my name, Cecilia
Don’t know nothing ‘bout my fuck-ups, Cecilia
All you ever know is I am the flesh that once was yours
And the earth we’ll return to be
Your guess’s as good as mine, how you manage to adore me, like a duck takes to water
Call me up one day in June, still there’s nothing to report on
It’s so different from your life
No commonplace word
You don’t even know my name, Cecilia
Don’t know nothing ‘bout my fuck-ups, Cecilia
All you ever know is I am the flesh that once was yours
And the earth we’ll return to be
