If I had a dime for every question 

I could buy myself a band to keep the answers in 

When the house you rent was getting painted 

I thought this out and wrote it down and mailed it 



When I think of it, it makes me crazy 

And if I hear from you 

You know it will amaze me 

I'm gonna take a train across the river 

And when I see your face I've got a message to deliver 



Without a thought you carry on 

And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long 

You said you'd always love me as a friend 

But you left the water on instead 

You left it running in my head 



I've been taaking this from you for much too long 

When my train gets in I'll call you on the telephone 

But before I go can you just tell me 

Did the coffee tea and paperbacks mean anything? 



Without a thought you carry on 

And I'll be the last thing on your mind before too long 

You said you'd always love me as a friend 

But you left the water on instead 

You left it running in my head 



I went to the train to get my ticket 

And I laid myself out on the tracks derailed it
