Once Upon a Time |
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 |
