Tick Of Time

Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as I'm here
Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that
But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am
What did I do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is
And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine
What did I do to deserve her love
I have to ask myself
When I am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine
