Could have made it easily
why I didn't I really don't know
it could be I loved her knowing that it wouldn't last
she told me that I was different and that she wanted to understand
by the time I'd made my mind up to take her
she was leaving on a midnight express
that green eyed American actress
who wanted she told me to try to make it with me
I'm here thinking how it could have been
she's on the stage in New York
wonder if she thinks of me, I don't suppose so
she told me I was different and that she wanted to understand
by the time I'd made my mind up to take her
she was leaving on a midnight express
that green eyed American actress
who wanted she told me to try to make it with me
I'm here in the gloom
and the view from my room is a Paddington roof
think I'll put my coat on
and go and walk a while
she told me I was different and that she wanted to understand
by the time I'd made my mind up to take her
she was leaving on a midnight express
that green eyed American actress
who wanted she told me to try to make it with me
