(Jem Finer)
|
The hour's late and the lights are low
|
I'm walking home just kicking stones
|
I waited at the deopt 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
|
