Elvis Costello
No Wonder
[Verse 1]
I stole a glance at my reflection
Though these days I tend to hurry by
How pale the rose of my complexion
How strange the knowing look that's in my eye

[Pre-Chorus]
But when the springtime was ablaze
You took my hand, you held my gaze

[Chorus]
There is no wonder there
I learned my lesson well
No need to wonder where that girl has gone

[Bridge]
There is a secret no one knows
I set my face, I changed my clothes

[Verse 2]
I dreamed I stood as you were passing
Just as the horse-drawn carriage sped away
Of petticoats in puddles dragging
And my high button boots were splashed with clay

[Pre-Chorus]
But when the summer was in flame
You broke your word, denied my name
[Chorus]
There is no wonder there
I learned my lesson well
No need to wonder where that girl has gone

[Bridge]
But as the winter drags along
It blurs your sense of right and wrong

[Chorus]
There is no wonder there
I learned my lesson well
No need to wonder where that girl has gone
