Catherine * And The Unexpected Guest Lyrics

1985, Windows opened wide
Staring at the strangest walker-by
Looking for a smile, a familiar face
Dreaming with her eyes wide open

Music fills her head like an unexpected guest
Remembering the time that they first met
She never meant to read the letters he received
Up 'til now they're still unanswered

Catherine knows she's smiling
At every crucial turning point
Now that she's alone she's waiting (for something to happen)
Could she write him back to
Tell him that she's doing fine
A visit in September, a summer to remember

She attempts to re-arrange the postcards on her wall
She lost his address and missed his calls
Ordinary girl lost between two worlds
Always waiting for tomorrow

She's laying on her back, then she's on her way
September is still running through her veins
She doesn't turn around when someone calls her name
Dreaming with her eyes wide open

Catherine knows she's smiling
At every crucial turning point
Now that she's alone she's waiting (for something to happen)
Could she write him back to
Tell him that she's doing fine
A visit in September, a summer to remember

Before she goes to sleep
Catherine's on her knees
Between the letters on the floor
She's got to hold on
To something more
Once more

Catherine knows she's smiling
At every crucial turning point
Now that she's alone she's waiting
Could she write him back to
Tell him that she's doing fine
A visit in September, a summer to remember

Catherine knows she's smiling
Catherine knows she's smiling
Catherine knows she's smiling
Catherine knows she's smiling
