Never thought this life of crime Would make your world collide with mine All those games spent killing time As life haunted On the cloudy afternoon The sky turned blue I think of you And all those dark times we went through As life haunted On the strange lit avenue She looked my way And says, "How do?" I guess my eyes They told the truth And she wandered on I'm a man of much regret For things I did For things I said I don't suppose That you would forget Maybe forgive If I step up And take the blame For moments caused Wrought with pain It doesn't mean Everything just look at you Standing there accusing me Gonna burn it down, just to see If it gets up you let it bleed Ruthlessly Ruthlessly 27 hours wasted 27 days that I wait 27 months pass slowly Seasons never change They will remain They will So that ship is sailing off As I was standing on the dock I think my watch it must've stopped Or slowed a bit Is that her waving back at me Or forward to her fiancée I don't know I can't see her face Anymore Waitin' on the summer sun I know which one of us is torn Wearin' that crown of thorns Til Autumn comes Love's just went down underwater And the tide is risin' There ain't no lifeboat or life vests To save this drowning There goes the Coast Guard And they're dragging For remains Remains 27 hours wasted 27 days that I wait 27 months pass slowly Seasons never change They will remain They will
