Oh, sweet lady, runnin` like a stream 
You don`t look back because you know your hands are clean 
You make believe the past was just a dream 
You make believe the past was just a dream 
 
Turn around, turn around 
And I will sing for you a song 
I don`t know where you been 
But you`ve been gone too long 
 
Oh, Elisa, you must begin again 
And all the roads that you have walked are comin` to an end 
I was your lover but I thought I was your friend 
I loved you but I thought I was your friend 
 
Turn around, turn around 
And I will sing for you a song 
I don`t know where you been 
But you`ve been gone too long 
 
Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea 
Maybe you will find a little time to think of me 
Won`t you please remember what I tried so hard to be 
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be 
  
So turn around, turn around 
And I will sing for you a song
And I don`t know where you been 
But you`ve been gone too long
