Darling, I never meant to let you down I always meant to be around But somehow you got left behind Rambling through my one track mind And I'm writing you this letter On the hotel headed paper And I think I'll go and send it Maybe sooner, maybe later In the garden of remembrance There's a blackbird singing sweetly It's as if he's trying to tell me That I've f**ed it up completely But darling, I never meant to let you down I always meant to be around But somehow you got left behind Rambling through my one track mind
And I breakfasted on nothing more Than restless agitation So I packed up my belongings And I headed for the station Overhead the pylons Were a cracklin' and a hummin' It's as if they're trying to tell me That they saw this s**er coming But darling, I never meant to let you down I always meant to be around But somehow you got left behind Rambling through my one track mind Once you've got on board There ain't no turning back So tie me to the sleepers Of the old single track
