Lyrics

[00:10.671] I have always needed somebody girl
[00:21.018] But I close the doors to keep out the world
[00:26.511] But for you, I would be here all alone
[00:34.629] Locked in a photograph
[00:37.184]
[00:37.467] All of the clocks have run down
[00:43.571] Lover beware
[00:47.580] We'll be the lovers that never were
[00:54.574]
[00:56.962] I hang patiently on every word you send
[01:07.226] Will we ever be much more than just friends?
[01:12.764] As for you, you sit there playing this game
[01:20.810] You keep me waiting
[01:23.191]
[01:23.434] When all of the clocks have run down
[01:29.382] All over the world
[01:33.635] We'll be the lovers that never were
[01:41.302]
[01:42.345] For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes
[01:52.692] I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies
[02:03.194] For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves
[02:13.500] I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams
[02:22.226]
[02:24.440] And I know dear, how much it's going to hurt
[02:34.705] If you still refuse to get your hands dirty
[02:40.694] So you, you must tell me something... I love you
[02:48.175] Say goodbye or anything
[02:50.823] All of the clocks have run down
[02:57.135] Time's at an end
[03:01.204] If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends
[03:07.778]
[03:09.775] For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes
[03:20.163] I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies
[03:30.477] For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves
[03:40.630] I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams
[03:52.629] We'll be the lovers
[03:57.766] We'll be the lovers
[04:02.893] We'll be the lovers that never were
