'This Ain't Over'
Do I remember...
Walkin' on the stone of a heart
That don't feel no more
Is love forever
Breakin' all apart for the heaven
At the start
Where the need is all
Well I know better
Time leaves a stain
Where the memory holds its pain
And if it's never
If it's never
Well I gotta tell yah this
This one last time....
Cos this ain't over
This ain't over, no, no, no
This ain't over
Well I gotta hand it to yah
You're lookin' fine
And you're doin' well
N' some folks say
It was the best thing
Ever happened to yah
But it all washes out in the rain
These mystifyin' love affairs, yeah
Well they never seem to come again
But if it's never, if it's never
Well I gotta tell yah this
This one last time...
Why did you go & let me down
When autumn leaves are turnin' brown
You're free to go just where you please
But don't you say you never wanted me
Here's the facts don't twist 'em round
It's no good walkin' empty ground
I can't go on & I can't turn back
This dead end road is where we're at
This ain't no time for quiet lies of comfort
This here is the reason I'll go on....
Well I gotta hand it to yah
You're lookin' fine & you're doin' well
And some folks say
It was the best thing
Ever happened to yah
But it all washes out, all washes out
In the rain...
