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 
We'll 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 
We'll be the lovers that never were

For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes 
I believe in you, baby, so don't 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 it's 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 can't be lovers we'll never be friends

For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes 
I believe in you, baby, so don't tell me lies 
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves 
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams
