The Story Missing Person Afternoon lyrics

Oh, Louisa, oh, my darling
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Who'd have thought, after all
Wasn't supposed to be this way

I was wrong and here is where
You have to imagine the rest, wrong
I was wrong, it's different than words now
On a missing person afternoon

It's a Monet, like a daydream
Glowing in the wandering light
You had an angle, I had mine
Needles in the haystack

I was wrong and here is where
You have to imagine the rest, wrong
I was wrong, it's different than words now
On a missing person afternoon


I imagine where you are
I imagine what you can see
I imagine where you are?
What you can see?

I remember you but I imagine
Almost in the same breath
Colors fade in the dusk
You pull your sweater close around you

But I was wrong, there's a mystery out there tonight, wrong
I was wrong and either way it's a leap of faith
On a missing person afternoon
Missing person afternoon
Missing person afternoon
