about

Memories of the sad end of a relationship.

lyrics

As we stood in your front porch I knew I’d break your heart
I could not look you in the eye, when I told you we must part
I never should have left you, I see that clear as day
But we cannot turn the clock back, time only works one way

Driving away in my old car I saw you stumbling behind
Weeping and wailing in my wing mirror
I tried to convince myself that it must be for the better
But I saw you weeping and wailing in my wing mirror

Your Papa was a kindly man, treated people like he ought’a
But he never liked this scruffy sod who went out with his daughter
I wish I’d never left you, but I saw no other way
And we cannot turn the clock back, time only works one way

Your Mama never liked me, she doesn’t like me still
I remember that she said she thought I looked like Buffalo Bill
I never should have left you, I see that clear as day
But we cannot turn the clock back, time only works one way

Driving away in my old car I saw you stumbling behind
Weeping and wailing in my wing mirror
I tried to convince myself that it must be for the better
But I saw you weeping and wailing in my wing mirror

I know I made a big mistake but it seemed right at the time
I know I broke your big warm heart, now someone’s broken mine
I wish I’d never left you, but I saw no other way
And we cannot turn the clock back, time only works one way
Yes, time only works one way
