Last time I saw her it was turnin' colder But that was years ago Last I heard she had moved to Boulder But where she's now I don't know But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year That spins my head around Takes me back makes me wonder What's she doin now 'Cause what she's doin now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows what she's doin' now Just for laughs I dialed her old number But no one knew her name Hung up the phone sat there and wondered If she'd ever done the same I took a walk in the evenin' wind To clear my head somehow But tonight I lie here thinkin' What's she doin' now 'Cause what she's doin now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows What she's doin now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows what she's doin' now
