Never Came To Be

Like lonely pioneers
In the human zoo
We tried to find the limits
Of this thing called me and you
Were we just repeating
The same old midnight lies
The same old sordid story
I love you implies

Such a shame to see
It never came to be
Tell me are there times
When you think of me

I still see you sitting
On the wall by the school
Watching a teenage Romeo
Play the teenage fool
In the heat of the summer
Secrets were revealed
You and me making love
In a sun-drenched field

Such a shame to see
It never came to be
Tell me are there times
When you think of me

We moved in together
Ah…the perfect pair
That’s what everybody said
But everybody wasn’t there
A fortress made of flesh
Immune to attack
But once we looked outside
There was no going back

Such a shame to see
It never came to be
Tell me are there times
When you think of me

Is there a room in your mind
A door that I walk through
Do I visit you at times
You least expect me to

That winter in England
I see it so well
Each one of us trying
To put the other through hell
I remember living
Taking over from play
You and me growing up
But growing away

Such a shame to see
It never came to be
Tell me are there times
When you think of me
Tell me are there times
When you think of me

Clothed in all its glory
Or naked in the rain
I’ve seen life’s beauty frequently
Oh I cannot complain
Lonely nights – a few
But the crazy nights were many
But all these selfish thoughts
Well they’re not worth a penny

Such a shame to see
It never came to be
Tell me are there times
When you think of me
Tell me are there times
When you think of me
