Sometimes

Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep you skinny
And your mind off the rain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes

Good morning sweet thing, you're safe in my hands
I am no saint, but I understand
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes
Now that it is over, it is through
It gets me every time I think of you
Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Sometimes

I miss your warm skin beside me at night
And I miss your flesh in the dawn light
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes
Saturn's decline in my star sign
Seasonal adjustments, stars realign
Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Sometimes, sometimes
