Scott Walker - If She Walked Into My Life Lyrics

Did she need a stronger hand?
Did she need a lighter touch?
Was I soft, or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?

At the moment that she needed me
Did I ever turn away?

Would I be there when she called?
If she walked in to my life today?

Did she mind the lonely nights?
Did she count the empty days?
Was I silent, was I cold?
Was I to quick to scold?
Was I too slow to praise?

And there must have been a million things
My old heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two?
If she walked into my life today

Should I blame the times I pampered her
Or blame the times I bust her
What a drag
I never really found the girl before I lost her

Where the years a little fast?
Was the world a little free?
Was there too much of the crowd
All too lush and loud
And not enough of me?

Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way?
Would I make the same mistakes
If she walked into my life today?
