The last time that I saw my house
Was when Vera was here
The last time that I washed my clothes
Was when Vera was here

The last time that I was someone
Was before she spoke to me
I was looking at the trees outside
And I fell into a dream …

When Vera was here …

The last time that I heard my name
Was when Vera was here
The last time that I spoke to someone
Was when Vera was here

She stands before a window
And speaks in different tongues
There’s some kind of religion
In all the things I’ve done

Since Vera was here …

Took her to the movies
Went to see “The Cure In Orange”
Had a smoke and pretty soon
All the lights along the road
Looked like orange moons
When Vera was here …

The Spanish restaurant
Was a fine idea
I got lost inside the menue
And I disappeared

When Vera was here …
