Always Going

We slept awhile, awhile in a room
Where the trains going from
Cross the trains going to
I could never sleep very long next to you
For you could never wake one minute too soon
We
In the night just to prove
You would never marry me
I would never marry you
We could never leave
Never leave when we should
We were always going just when the going got good
We were always going just when the going got good
My love, light, my reason to fight
There once was a time when you thought I was right
In no time at all I proved you wrong
I told you I would
We called it a draw
We don’t speak of it anymore
It was a race to the end from the start
You were so quick to fall
Just as quick to depart
In the beginning you thought that we were winning
But I knew
I knew in the end with nothing to defend
We would lose
My love, my life, my long absent friend
He who caught me up right at the end
You were so quick to love
And were so quick to leave
We told me you were hurt
Called it a draw
We don’t speak anymore
