(verse) |
|
he's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight |
|
he's only following orders 'til midnight |
|
and then he'll sneak back home to his wife, |
|
and his everyday life. |
|
he says he's been at the pub with the boys all night, |
|
she acts as if she don't know says its alright. |
|
but he knows she don't believe him. |
|
on and on, on and on. |
|
(chorus) |
|
cause nothing lasts forever, |
|
and nothing lasts forever. |
|
everything dies eventually, |
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see. |
|
(verse) |
|
this isn't how she thort that her life should be. |
|
when they first met back in '63, |
|
and a future together was all she could see. |
|
he said if you stick with me, |
|
then you know we'll be alright. |
|
a family for the rest of our lives, |
|
and ill always be by your side. |
|
and that's when she cried. |
|
on and on, on and on. |
|
(chorus) |
|
cause nothing lasts forever, |
|
and nothing lasts forever. |
|
everything dies eventually, |
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see. |
|
(verse) |
|
so he takes off his tie and he tells another lie, |
|
she only believed it for a minute. |
|
and she dosen't ask why, |
|
she doesn't want to pry. |
|
she only believes it for a minute. |
|
he's walking out the door and into a new life, |
|
he's already got plans with his new wife, |
|
and a house in a new neighborhood. |
|
he says he's been at the pub with the boys all night, |
|
she acts as if she don't know, |
|
says its alright. |
|
but he knows she don't believe him, |
|
but she's sick of arguing. |
|
on and on, on and on. |
|
(chorus) |
|
cause nothing lasts forever |
|
and nothing lasts forever |
|
everything dies eventually |
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see |
|
(verse) |
|
she's been waking around, |
|
with her heart dragging on the ground. |
|
she don't need to frown. |
