Lyrics

SHE STEPPED DOWN FROM THE TRAIN
HER SMILE LIT UP THE RAIN
AND HE WONDERED WHY HE’D EVER LET HER GO
SHE ASKED HOW HE HAD BEEN
HOW THE YEARS HAD TREATED HIM
AND HE ANSWERED LIKE A CHILD WHO DIDN’T KNOW

TIME GOES ON AND ON
AND THE TEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
AND THE MILLION DREAMS THEY’D HAD FOR YEARS
WERE STOOD BEFORE THEIR EYES
STILL THEY COULDN’T TELL
THOUGH THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL
BUT MAYBE THEY COULD WASH AWAY THE LIES

THEY TALKED AWAY THE NIGHT
AND IN THE CANDLELIGHT
SHE TOLD OF THE YEARS THEY’D SPENT AWAY
SHE’D HAD HER SHARE OF FLINGS
BUT NO COMMITTED KIND OF THING
THEY LAUGHED ABOUT THE GAMES THEY USED TO PLAY

TIME GOES ON AND ON
AND THE TEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
AND THE MILLION DREAMS THEY’D HAD FOR YEARS
WERE STOOD BEFORE THEIR EYES
STILL THEY COULDN’T TELL
ALTHOUGH THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL
BUT MAYBE THEY COULD WASH AWAY THE LIES

THEY AGREED THAT THEY’D MEET AGAIN
THIS TIME THE HEARTACHE MIGHT END

TIME GOES ON AND ON
AND THE TEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
AND THE MILLION DREAMS THEY’D HAD FOR YEARS
WERE STOOD BEFORE THEIR EYES
STILL THEY COULDN’T TELL
THOUGH THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL
BUT MAYBE THEY COULD WASH AWAY THE LIES

STILL THEY COULDN’T TELL
THOUGH THEY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL
BUT MAYBE THEY COULD WASH AWAY THE LIES
