Lyrics Invisible - Patti LuPone
Back
then
the
men
would
look
and
smile
at
me
Like
boys
applying
for
a
summer
job.
But
no,
I
never
would
respond,
The
vacancy
was
taken.
Back
home
my
love
would
whisper
in
my
ear
Those
words,
a
shelter
for
a
troubled
soul.
That
voice,
like
sunshine
when
you're
cold,
Like
water
when
you're
thirsty.
And
then
one
morning
he
was
gone.
A
day
went
by
and
he
was
gone.
A
month
went
by
and
I
would
stand
by
the
window
Holding
the
baby,
shaking
with
fear.
And
one
day
I
heard
it,
as
real
as
the
sun,
That
voice
in
my
ear.
That's
when
I
realized
that
he
was
invisible
Like
a
magic
trick,
like
a
miracle.
I
don't
know
how
he
did
it.
He
was
gone,
but
he
still
was
there,
But
totally
invisible,
But
don't
get
me
wrong
he
was
tangible.
But
invisible
like
gravity
or
the
air.
They
said
I
had
to
take
a
little
rest
Someplace
where
they
could
keep
and
eye
on
me.
Despite
the
bars
across
the
windows
My
room
was
pretty
sunny.
Those
days
were
mumbles
in
a
sleeping
ear.
The
hallways
always
smelled
like
chicken
soup.
Most
of
the
doctors
were
polite.
The
nuns
were
nice
and
nunny.
You
eat
your
lunch
a
year
is
gone.
You
go
to
bed
ten
years
are
gone.
Then
you
wake
up
and
wonder
where
is
it
hiding?
Where
did
it
go?
I
don't
understand.
The
life
I
had
wanted,
the
life
I
was
promised,
The
life
I
had
planned.
Then
I
realized
it
was
invisible.
That
entire
life
was
invisible
Because
somebody
misplaced
it,
So
it
had
to
be
somewhere.
Just
out
of
reach,
just
out
of
sight
There's
a
couple
dancing
in
candlelight.
No
gravity
was
spinning
in
the
air.
Though
things
are
pretty
much
the
same
As
how
they
used
to
be,
The
young
men
still
are
smiling,
They
just
never
smile
at
me.
At
first
I
thought
they
must
be
blind
Like
love
or
gravity.
But
then
I
realized
I
picked
it
up.
I've
got
the
gift!
I
feel
like
supergirl!
I've
become
invisible.
I'm
a
magic
trick.
Isn't
it
wonderful?
Like
a
character
in
a
comic
book
I
can
see
what
you're
thinking
but
I
don't
care.
So
if
your
on
an
empty
street
And
you
hear
the
tapping
of
high
heeled
feet,
Or
you
hear
a
heart
like
a
phantom
beat,
Or
the
screams
of
a
woman
left
incomplete,
Well
don't
fear
what
you
can't
see.
The
odds
are
good
that
it's
only
me.
I'm
invisible.
I've
vanished
in
thin...
Ta-daa!
