Never Got to Love You
The parking lot is empty
They killed the neon sign
It's dark from here to St. Jovite
It's dark all down the line
They ought to hand the night
a ticket
For speeding: it's a crime
I had so much to tell you
But now it's closing time
I never got to love you
Like I heard it can be done
Where the differences are many
But the heart is always one
The memories come back empty
Like their batteries are low
It feels like you just left me
Tho' it happened years ago
They're stacking up the chairs
Wiping down the bar
I never got to tell you
How beautiful you are
I never got to love you
Like I heard it can be done
Where the differences are many
But the heart is always one
Don't know how it happened
But I missed the exit sign
It's dark from here to St. Jovite
It's dark all down the line
They killed the neon sign
It's dark from here to St. Jovite
It's dark all down the line
They ought to hand the night
a ticket
For speeding: it's a crime
I had so much to tell you
But now it's closing time
I never got to love you
Like I heard it can be done
Where the differences are many
But the heart is always one
The memories come back empty
Like their batteries are low
It feels like you just left me
Tho' it happened years ago
They're stacking up the chairs
Wiping down the bar
I never got to tell you
How beautiful you are
I never got to love you
Like I heard it can be done
Where the differences are many
But the heart is always one
Don't know how it happened
But I missed the exit sign
It's dark from here to St. Jovite
It's dark all down the line
