|
The hour's late and the lights are low |
|
I'm walking home just kicking stones |
|
I waited at the depot you never showed |
|
You missed the last bus hours ago |
|
I remember the first time |
|
I saw you on the street |
|
You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat |
|
I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat |
|
I'm down but I'm still on my feet |
|
I walked on down the old fairground |
|
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound |
|
I sat for a while on the cold hard ground |
|
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around |
|
As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack |
|
Of light shining bright through the night so black |
|
Like a runaway train rolling down the track |
|
From here there's no turning back |
|
Listen to me baby |
|
Once upon a time |
|
My heart was an ocean |
|
You swam against the tide |
|
The time is past for grieving |
|
My tears have all run dry |
|
I'll leave you with my love |
|
And now I say goodbye |
|
The bottles broke the glasses are cracked |
|
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked |
|
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn |
|
The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home |
|
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye |
|
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky |
|
I turned around turned my back on that town |
|
And I never looked back again |
