Sarah Brightman -- Another suitcase in another hall

Sarah Brightman - Another suitcase in another hall

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it -- wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
       Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
       Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
       You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me -- and they do

So what happens now?
       Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
       Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
       You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion
But that's no consolation -- here and now

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Tim Rice.
Show: "Evita" (1976/78).

From: The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection (1997).
Also on: Sings the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber (1992).

Source of the lyrics: Chad Tower's lyrics page.
The first part of the song (Eva's part), is not on Sarah's CD. Sarah sings here the part of the 16 year-old Mistress of Peron after she is turned out in the hall; Che's part is sung by a choir and given in italics.
Thanks to Richard van de Stadt for a correction.
