How Are You

© 2009 Mark Cote

I look in your eyes
you turned away
can't run and hide
so coldly you stay
and how are you?

(chorus) get lost in the stars
                  catch a rainbow
                  cry in the rain
                  watch the wind blow
                  the scarecrow smiles
                  for only he knows
                  How I am
                  How are you?

In the playground
you dance alone
not make a sound
and not be known
and how are you?

(bridge) I never knew
                  that the words you said were how you are
                  all alone among the shooting stars
                  in a world of love that's all your own
                  no one reached out no love was shown
                  and I had to ask
                  and how are you?
(chorus)
