One thing you can't rely upon
There's no one left to call upon
A broken clock, a speeding train
Time is standing still again
Your juice is seeping down the drain
Rose petals floating on the stream
I looked around and you were gone
And I said to myself it's the end
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never been gone
This race which is already run
It's empty in the restless tomb,
it's empty in the living room
The light's on but no one's home
Never seen a man look so forlorn,
sundown till the break of dawn
Face down and his clothes all torn,
And I said to myself it's the end
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never begun
This race which is already run
Way out beyond the blackest stump,
a woman by a bone -dry pump
With only distance in her eyes,
Love is gone, my love is dead,
no butter and there is no bread
Everything that's good is gone,
And I said to myself, it's the end
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never begun
This race which is already won
And I said to myself, it's the end
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never been gone
This race which is already run
