 (Bob Lind)

 Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains,

 And ten-cent red roses from department store
counters,

 Watching the moonlight reflect off the river,

 Beside where the trains cross the bridge and
slow down,

 Trains with white letters on black iron
sides,

 And white rushing water that all rolls away,

 And Little Miss Someone does not want to
stay.

 Everyone's moving, with places to go,

 And Mr Zero, he sadly stands still.

 As the water goes one way, the train goes
another,

 Mr Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't
bother.

 

 Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow,

 As campfires of midnight dissolve in the
darkness.

 The room is deserted, the blinds have been
drawn,

 Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone.

 Fast moving cars disappear down the highway,

 With signs that say "hitch-hikers: do not
disturb".

 Mr Zero looks quietly up from the curb.

 Morning has faded, and shadows have grown,

 And Little Miss Someone is on her way home.

 Mr Zero stands watching, her plane flies
above,

 And with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his
love.

 

 Walks through the park on a bright summer
Sunday,

 And tapestry kittens that hung on the wall.

 They all die in the air like a soft minor
chord,

 A vacancy sign, and a bulletin board.

 Mr Zero is wrapping his jacket around him,

 Speaking kind words that should have been said
long ago,

 But Little Miss Someone does not want to
know.

 The night is deserted, there's dust on the
shelf,

 Mr Zero sits lonely and talks to himself.

 It's too late to change, the fine line has been
crossed,

 The charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.
