She was there in the square but I must've waited an hour I couldn't see any red scarf that matched the flower But we met up eventually And the rest is history Took the night train from Seville Talked matadors and Melville And the Watergate conspiracy And the rest is history Things have changed there's a little grey Still remember it all as if it were yesterday Arrived at dawn for the running The streets and the bars were humming With an air of expectancy And the rest is history Black and blue I was shaken Was just a case of mistaken Mistaken identity Thats what they told me down in custody Things have changed there's a little grey Still remember it all as if it were yesterday

Blossom 03:21
There's nothin' to remember It's always been the way Take care about tomorrow And look out for yesterday Snowfall in September Winters on its way Buy, sell or borrow There's still time for making hay Wouldn't want it any other way Wouldn't want it any other way Dyin' on the embers Celebrate decay Seasons lead and follow And there's new life on the way Wouldn't want it any other way Wouldn't want it any other way Through darkest December Making plans for May When hare and hawk and swallow And blossom fill the day Wouldn't want it any other way Wouldn't want it any other way

Like a fool I went back to the scene of the crime In case there might be anything I might've left behind Everything was broken there, the lock was off the door Saw nothing to incriminate or connect me to the law Looks like I got away with it again Looks like I got away Like a fool I went back to the girl who broke my heart Said we'd learn to compromise, made a brand new start Everything started well but didn't feel the same It's hard to fix the problems when no one is to blame Looks like I got away with it again Looks like I got away Again this time Like a fool I went back on my word to my best friend She could not forgive me, no, and things came to an end But that's all ancient history, buried in the past We met up just recently and we sure did have a blast Looks like I got away with it again Looks like I got away Again this time

Don't know what I'd expected But I feel it should be better than this I'm half way between, nowhere to be seen Tryin' to figure out what I might've missed And by the way and if by chance I mention that I still care Your in there somewhere A trouble mind a troubled man Aimless and self contained Self indulged, soaked in self Self obsessed and socially maimed And by the way and if by chance I mention that I still care Your in there somewhere Disfigured and distorted Isolated but not alone Spoon fed sympathy ignored Can see but can never be shown And by the way and if by chance I mention that I still care

Said it's wonderful to be here, it's almost quite a thrill To while away the hours, find some time to kill All my days are crowded now But I'm always tryin' to make the most Just need time, time with you Said the days get so congested, crammed with the mundane So hard to see the purpose when there's so much to explain All my days are crowded now But I'm always tryin' to make the most Just need time, time with you I don't look for recognition, I don't need anyone's applause Time is all that I need now and the world outside the door All my days are crowded now But I'm always tryin' to make the most Just need time, time with you

May never be a next time so give it all you got One chance, one bullet, one shot This is one appointment you should try to keep Hey, hey, don't you fall back to sleep You've got to make it happen don't hesitate It's too good to leave to fate It's the great unknown are you read to leap Hey, hey, don't you fall back to sleep

It's good to see you smile again No more trouble on the brow Was only a matter of time Question of how Got to stay this side of blue Leave the black dogs barkin' at the door Try to stay this side of blue I know how hard that noise is to ignore It's good to hear you laugh out loud To hear that sound again Was only a matter of time Question of when Got to stay this side of blue Leave the black dogs barkin' at the door Try to stay this side of blue I know how hard that noise is to ignore

Postscript 02:23
I thought I knew you I thought I knew you well The way you've been actin' lately It's gettin' hard to tell It's gettin' hard to tell No, you never said it But we always knew That when the money Ran low that love would too That the love would too You say one thing But then you go and do another Just like you did Before with your last lover Oh, yeah Hook, line and sinker I fell under the spell No, I didn't know it But I knew that time would tell Time would tell
