The Lovers That Never Were (1988 Demo) lyrics
by Paul McCartney
[Verse 1]
I have always needed somebody girl
But I close the door to keep out the world
But for you, I would be here all alone
Locked in a photograph
[Chorus 1]
All of the clocks have run down
Lover beware
We'll be the lovers that never were
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
When all of the clocks have run down
All over thе world
We'll be the lovеrs that never were
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
And I know dear, how much it's gonna hurt
If you still refuse to get your hands dirty
So you, you must tell me something, I love you
Say goodbye or anything
[Chorus 3]
All of the clocks have run down
Times at an end
If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends
[Bridge]
For as long as the sun shines in somebodys 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
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh-oh..)
