Lyrics
She sits alone at night thinking about her life
cold world surrounds her, take the pain away
Is it a mystery, or is it plain to see
staring at a photograph of who she used to be
But won?t you please excuse me, I?m just not me today
the teacher takes the role but doesn?t say the name
(Chorus)
Do you know my name?
Have you seen my face before?
Now look at me Who do you see?
Do You know my name?
Did you hear me cry?
Now would you hold my hand? or will you turn your eyes from me
Now look at me
A long long time ago in a one room school
Hand held high now she?s always trying
Her eyes are on the board, her back is straight
Answers answers and questions die
But won?t you please excuse me I?m just not me today
the teacher takes the role but doesn?t say the name
(Chorus)
I don?t have the answers
why should I any way
empty spaces my mind retraces the name
