You asked the time We were waiting in line I tried to speak, but I said nothing Late in the day, when the clouds moved away Thought of your face and your sleeping arrangements How long has the whole world known That you and me were not to be? I'm trying to let you go But you have me completely We burned brightly but briefly Tell me your name and the places you've been I'll do the same Hey, you've gotta start somewhere And I'll crack a joke about someone we both know And you'll crack the smile I've been waiting so long for How long has the whole world known What's taken me till now to see? It's dim where it used to glow How long has the whole world known? Every single dream leads one place Back to you But it can't be true
