Lyrics: Phoebe Snow. Majesty of Life.

Oh, majesty of life, please don't escape me
It's getting later and the window shades are drawn
I'm not the best that I can be and I'm trying to wait and see
What can happen to a girl in her hometown

And oh, the wilderness
The unmade bed, the aching head
And oh, the graying afternoon
The diary that ends too soon

Oh sweet belief in love, I know you're somewhere
No love is perfect but a true one must exist
It's getting farther down the year, I hope my autumn eyes will clear
And let me recognize his soul when we have kissed

And oh, the wilderness
The unmade bed, the aching head
And oh, the graying afternoon
The diary that ends too soon

I'm not the best that I can be but I'm trying to wait and see
What can happen to a girl in her hometown

And oh, the wilderness
The unmade bed, the aching head
And oh, the graying afternoon
The diary that ends too soon
