• I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
  There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
  You're the only one who really knew me at all

  And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
  Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
  And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

  Phil Collins

  Song, Sweet, Urban Renewal
