Lovers That Never Were — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

(mccartney/macmanus)

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

Well 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

Well be the lovers that never were



For as long as the sun shines

In somebodys eyes

I believe in you, baby

So dont 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 its 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 cant be lovers well never be friends



For as long as the sun shines

In somebodys eyes

I believe in you, baby

So dont tell me lies

For as long as the trees

Throw down blossoms and leaves

I know there will be

A parade of unpainted dreams
