The Lovers That Never Were |
| I have always needed somebody, girl |
| But I close the doors to keep out the world |
| But for you |
| I would be here all alone |
| Locked in a photograph |
| All of the clocks have run down |
| Lover beware |
| We’ll be the lovers that never were |
| I hang patiently on every word you send |
| Will we ever be much more than just friends? |
| As for you |
| You sit there playing this game |
| You keep me waiting |
| When all of the clocks have run down |
| All over the world |
| We’ll be the lovers that never were |
| For as long as the sun shines |
| In somebody’s eyes |
| I believe in you, baby |
| So don’t tell me lies |
| For as long as the trees |
| Throw down blossoms and leaves |
| I know there will be |
| A parade of unpainted dreams |
| And I know, dear |
| How much it’s going to hurt |
| If you still refuse to get your hands dirty |
| So you |
| You must tell me something, I love you |
| Say goodbye or anything |
| All of the clocks have run down |
| Time’s at an end |
| If we can’t be lovers we’ll never be friends |
