Lovers That Never Were

(mccartney/macmanus)



I have always needed somebody, girl



But I close the doors to keep out the world



But for you



I would be here all alone



Locked in a photograph







All of the clocks have run down



Lover beware



Well be the lovers that never were







I hang patiently on every word you send



Will we ever be much more than just friends?



As for you



You sit there playing this game



You keep me waiting







When all of the clocks have run down



All over the world



Well be the lovers that never were







For as long as the sun shines



In somebodys eyes



I believe in you, baby



So dont tell me lies



For as long as the trees



Throw down blossoms and leaves



I know there will be



A parade of unpainted dreams







And I know, dear



How much its going to hurt



If you still refuse to get your hands dirty



So you



You must tell me something...i love you



Say goodbye or anything







All of the clocks have run down



Times at an end



If we cant be lovers well never be friends







For as long as the sun shines



In somebodys eyes



I believe in you, baby



So dont tell me lies



For as long as the trees



Throw down blossoms and leaves



I know there will be



A parade of unpainted dreams
