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

Times at an end, if we can't be lovers we'll never be friends

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
