this was on a snowy day there i am running late on the way to cut you loose thinking here comes someone new and oh what a shame so cold and clear and oh what a shame to have been so near i guess you know what happens next and i m guessing you would laugh at it everything i always do to make a holy mountain out of little old you but i can t help you know i try and it s too late anyhow but if i d only asked you i think you would ve been mine and all those burning questions would cool off over time and oh what a shame so cold and clear and oh what a shame to have been so near now you call to say you run everyday an hour or more and every night you dream so clear of all the enders lying at your door well i m doing lovely too you caught me with the evening blues did you see about that girl uptown innocent and she looks a little like you and oh what a shame so cold and clear and oh what a shame to have been so near but if i d only asked you i think you would ve been mine and all those burning questions would cool off over time end
