Little time is left to catch my train So don't talk about the things you know I can't explain I strike a match and light another cigarette Hoping for the kind words I'm sure I will not get "Go, my love, and think you're not alone" "I'll wait right here, in the promised land of our home" I thought I'd lay down all the worries past I thought a love like ours was surely meant to last Nothing's really happened to prove me wrong Only days when we get tired of singing the same song So park the car and let your best friend go Best was good enough for you not that long ago Boy With so little time spare It's a miracle you should care For your boy I'm not the kind of man to walk the streets With a picture of the loved one he's left between the sheets Should I need an image to remember you You'd know the string had snapped and I'd drift away for good On my fingers lingers your smell To all unknown I still caress the gentle swell Boy With so little time to spare It's a miracle you should care For your boy
