You slowed the clocks when you talked,
To me, to me,
The roof of my mouth turned heavy and round,
To me, to me.I wish you were still,
Writing me down,
I wish you were still,
Around.A new newspaper crown,
I wore,
I wore it out,
If you, if you knew me now,
Could you go without?I wish you were still,
Teasing me out,
I wish you were still,
Around.I'll give,
Back the words that you said,
To me, to me,
I'll dry,
Out the stream that you fed,
Through me through me.I wish you were still,
Writing me down,
I wish you were still,
Around.

When you remember this song,
I’ll be long gone,
But I’m not leaving you today.

You may shed a tear,
To find that I’m not here,
But I’m not leaving you today.

The hands of fate,
Have left me running late,
When I should be on my way.

And though in my heart,
I am ready to depart,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’ve been steady as a rock,
Just sitting on the dock,
So I’m not leaving you today.

Well I know that I will cry,
When it’s time to say goodbye,
But I’m not leaving you today.

So please don’t fear,
As the day draws near,
We’ll watch the tide roll away.

For there will always be a spark,
However far apart,
And I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you today.

There I go,
Saying no,
When I wish I could stay,
Why so slow?
Guess I know,
That it's going that way,
With so many boys and girls to keep me company,
I may play til break of day,
But one thing I still see.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.

I’ve seen shots and I’ve seen stars,
And I’ve seen hurricanes,
But despite these dizzy heights,
One thing remains the same.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another,
Oh honey -
How about another?
Put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.

When it rains it pours,
And I feel like I've been drowning,
Since you've been gone.
I believed in love and happy endings,
But that ended when it all went wrong.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

When the cold wind blows,
Without an arm to wrap around your shoulder,
It feels a little colder than it did before.
I wish I knew, if there was something I could do,
To stop my mind reminding me you're not here no more.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

Sun goes down,
Dark all around,
Look away, go away now,
Nothing left to say now.

Doors stay closed,
What was new now is old,
Run away, turn away now,
Nothing you can say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

Tears fall down,
Never make a sound,
You can go, you can go now,
Nothing you can do now.

Life goes on,
Forever holding on,
Another day to take away now,
Nothing left to say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.
