Ten years ago today @da pool
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies - maybe to the Nations Plaza park
Via the Jones street corridor

And have a seat on the same old bench (black)
To watch the children play with ben (huh)
You know, tomorrow is their future
But to me, just another day

They all gather around me
They seem to know my name (ben)
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain

I know I can't hide from a memory
'Though year after year I've tried
I keep tellin' the pigeons she'll be back
But this year again I lied

(Sung)
Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On Jones street, and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold Nation Plaza winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
And in the spicy curry in my porcelain bowl
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to sit on
And I'm lost
Benjie, I'm lost (Oh)

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
And she threw her diamond ring in my crazy avocado dip
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I see her finger reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to sit on
And I'm lost
Benjie, I'm lost (Oh)

(spoken)

As another curry comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a postcard or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the strippers I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
