Trooper - Quiet Desperation lyrics

Started the day at 5:30 this morning Still half asleep, reached toward her pillow No one there, she left before daybreak A brief kiss on the cheek introducing heartache A flip of her hair as she walked out the door I won't see her anymore She wants to be the world's finest actress Or did she say a famous ballerina Either way, I'll be left here While far away, she won't remember All of the simple things we used to do Why does she need something new Live my life in quiet desperation Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns I'll be living in quiet desperation She doesn't feel the need to be close to someone Too many dreams, different roads to follow But perhaps, someday she'll be returning Maybe call, talk about the old times But still it seems that those days are all gone How can I carry on Live my life in quiet desperation Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns I'll be living in quiet desperation But still it seems that those days are all gone How can I carry on Live my life in quiet desperation Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns I'll be living in quiet desperation
