| 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 the 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.
|
| Cause nothing lasts forever,
|
| And nothing lasts forever.
|
| Everything dies eventually,
|
| Cover your eyes if you don’t want to see.
|
| And nothing lasts forever, and nothing last forever
|
| This isn’t how she thought that her life would be.
|
| When they first met back in '63,
|
| And a future together was all she could see.
|
| 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 i’ll always be by your side.
|
| And that’s when she cried.
|
| On and on, on and on.
|
| Cause nothing lasts forever,
|
| And nothing lasts forever.
|
| Everything dies eventually,
|
| Cover your eyes if you don’t want to see.
|
| And nothing last forever, and nothing last forever
|
| 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 cry.
|
| 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.
|
| Cause nothing lasts forever
|
| And nothing lasts forever
|
| Everything dies eventually
|
| Cover your eyes if you don’t want to see
|
| And nothing last forever, and nothing last forever
|
| She’s been waking around,
|
| With her heart dragging on the ground.
|
| She don’t need to frown. |
