| Lyrics: | You look so pretty dear, standing in the rain Throwing darts that miss their mark and falling in love Yes, you loved me once No matter what you say right now I don’t believe you anyhow There’s no existing in a place you can’t exist Take it from a person who still exists in it Half past dead and gone The thing I miss the most since you have left Is holding you in my arms as you slept God played a dirty trick on us And made you stay with me I didn’t know it was only temporary Hmm, hmm, hmm… I would like to know How many ways must a fool lose in love Until he’s shouting at the skies above Now it’s much later and the ground we stood upon Continues shifting as we race toward the sun Yes, we’ve carried on The years went by before I knew what to do I’ve met another who looks exactly like you God played a dirty trick on us And made you stay with me I didn’t know it was only temporary |
