David Yazbek, Patti LuPone - Invisible lyrics
[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
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
