[Bridge 1]
I ain't much of a lover, it's true
I'm here, then I'm gone
And I'm forever blue
But I'm sure wanting you
[Verse 3]
Skies full of silver and gold
Try to hide the sun
But it can't be done

[Verse 4]

While the light of day
Smiles down our way
Then we can't go wrong
[Bridge 2]
Well, time, she's a fast old train
She's here, then she's gone
And she won't come again
Won't you take my hand?
[Verse 1]
Well if I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down?
