The lovers that never were (Paul Mccartney)

Off the ground (1993)

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.
Well 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.
Well be the lovers that never were.

For as long as the sun shines in somebodys eyes,
I believe in you baby, so dont 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 its 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 cant be lovers well never be friends.

For as long as the sun shines in somebodys eyes,
I believe in you baby, so dont tell me lies.
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.

excellent song,

[Gary Shook]

This song, and many others, was written with Elvis Costello, and is probably the best of them. Their demo version of the song is absolutely stunning in it's power. Check out that demo, it's here on YouTube.

Lost the girl of my dreams because I couldn't be a Christian. Terrible fucking feeling, but this song makes it easier :)

Wow, this song is so perfect...that bridge is unbelievable. I know this is just Paul but both John and Paul always wrote the most awesome bridges. John's in "Beautiful Boy" is another gorgeous one. This whole album is fantastic. I loved this era for Paul. "Flowers in the Dirt" is another have mine.
