So now I am leaving
I'm through with looking for you
From now on I am disbelieving
I'm through with looking for you
No more is this old man grieving
I went to the Battle of Flowers
Watched floats go this way and that
The parishes had gathered their powers
To put on their extravagant top hat
Everyone was supposed to be there
But I saw no sign of you, no sign of you
I'm through with looking for you
So now I am leaving
I'm through with looking for you
From now on I am disbelieving
I'm through with looking for you
No more is this old man grieving
I took so so many photographs
I even videoed the larger players
So so many people joining in
To make the day a festive affair
Everyone was supposed to be there
But I saw no sign of you, no sign of you
I'm through with looking for you
So now I am leaving
I'm through with looking for you
From now on I am disbelieving
I'm through with looking for you
No more is this old man grieving
Later, in the editing suite
I searched for you once again
All through those half-smile glances
Which failed to raise my disdain
Everyone was supposed to be there
But I saw no sign of you, no sign of you
I'm through with looking for you
So now I am leaving
I'm through with looking for you
From now on I am disbelieving
I'm through with looking for you
No more is this old man grieving
I won't be back next year
Unless of course things change
I will stop my self-berating
And move on down the range
Everyone was supposed to be there
But I saw no sign of you, no sign of you
I'm through with looking for you
So now I am leaving
I'm through with looking for you
From now on I am disbelieving
I'm through with looking for you
No more is this old man grieving
