(Alan Gregg)Esther's been reading booksShe's changed the way that she talks and the way that she looksHer coffee is black now and so are her clothesShe's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her noseEsther's been watching moviesAnd she must have seen someone that she would like to beWith looks like hers she could be on the screenBut she's the worst actor that I've ever seenEsther I've known you for agesAnd I've watched you through all the changesEsther, we used to be the best of friendsBut now we're becoming strangersEsther's been burning bridgesI remember the time when she turned religiousBut soon she turned her back on the churchAnd brushed it aside to continue the searchBecause Esther's been searching for somethingShe doesn't quite know what it isYes Esther's been looking for somethingMaybe something that doesn't existEsther, isn't it funny how we don't do the things we used to do?You don't think about that anymore Esther,but Esther, I still think about you.Esther's been getting lonelyAfter she cut herself off from the onlyPeople on whom she could dependPeople who were happy to call her their friendEsther I've known you for agesAnd I've watched you through all the stagesEsther, we used to be the best of friendsBut now we're becoming strangersOh EstherOh Esther
