David Yazbek, Patti LuPone - Invisible lyrics

Back then the men would look and smile at me
Like boys applying for a summer job
But no, I never would respond
The vacancy was taken

Back home my love would whisper in my ear
Those words, a shelter for a troubled soul
That voice, like sunshine when you're cold
Like water when you're thirsty
And then one morning he was gone
A day went by and he was gone
A month went by and I would
Stand by the window holding the baby
Shaking with fear then one day I heard it
As real as the sun that voice in my ear

That's when I realized it

He was invisible like a magic trick
Like a miracle I don't know how he did it
He was gone but he still was there

But totally invisible but don't get me wrong
He was tangible but invisible
Like gravity or the air

They said I had to take a little rest
Someplace where they could keep an eye on me
Despite the bars across the window
My room was pretty sunny

Those days were mumbles in a sleeping ear
The hallways always smelled like chicken soup
Most of the doctors were polite
The nuns were nice and… nunny

You eat your lunch, a year is gone
You go to bed, ten years are gone
Then you wake up and wonder
Where is it hiding? Where did it go?
I don't understand the life I had wanted
The life I was promised
The life I had planned?

Then I realized it it was invisible
That entire life was invisible
Because somebody misplaced it
So it had to be somewhere

Just out of reach just out of sight
There's a couple dancing in candlelight
No gravity, we're spinning in the air

Now things are pretty much the
Same as how they used to be
The young men still are smiling
They just never smile at me

At first I thought they might be blind
Like love or gravity but then I realized
I picked it up i've got the gift
I feel like supergirl

I've become invisible i'm a magic trick
Isn't it wonderful?
Like a character in a comic book
I can see what you're thinking
But, I don't care

So if you're on an empty street
And you hear the tapping of high heeled feet
Or you hear a heart like a phantom beat
Or the screams of a woman left incomplete

Well, don't fear what you can't see
The odds are good that it's only me
I'm invisible i've vanished in… thin

Tada
