Story - Missing Person Afternoon Lyrics

Story
The Angel In The House
Missing Person Afternoon
Oh Louisa, oh my darling,
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Who'd have thought, after all
It wasn't supposed to be this way

But I was wrong, (and here is where you have to
imagine the rest)
WRONG
I was wrong, (It's different than words now)
On a missing person afternoon

It's a Monet, like a daydream
Glowing in the wandering light
You had an angle, I had mine
Needles in the haystack

But I was wrong (and here is where you have to
imagine the rest)
WRONG
I was wrong, (It's different than words now)
On a missing person afternoon

I imagine where you are, I imagine what you can see
I imagine where you are, what you can see

I'll remember you, but I imagine
Almost in the same breath
The colors fade, in the dusk
You pull your sweater close around you

I was wrong, (there's a mystery on the road tonight)
WRONG
I was wrong, (and either way it's a leap of faith)
On a missing person afternoon,
Missing person afternoon
Missing person afternoon
