(Jem Finer) The hour's late and the lights are low I'm walking home just kicking stones I waited at the deopt 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
