The Lovers That Never Were

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

All of the clocks have run down

Lover beware

We'll be the lovers that never were

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus 2]

When all of the clocks have run down

All over the world

We'll be the lovers that never were

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus 3]

All of the clocks have run down

Time's at an end

If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends

[Bridge]

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
