That young cashier brought back a memory today
and when she saw it in my eyes, she shuddered, slightly,
then looked away
It was a quarter century ago today, that love, so dear, drove far away
I know I'm not alone
where people bring you down
but, is this the devil's work now
or just another clown
I wanted dream forever
still hurts sometimes today
and I still dream forever
for someone who will stay
I had a offer last November
for another paper weight
I should have had accepted
when I'm here so desperate
she's everything I had
when I was young and in my teens
she's everything I gave away
to be better than I seem
she promised me she'd be good to me
and never let me catch her cheating
she said she'd always know my needs
even when she's on her knees
she said that she would marry me
but, I don't like the way she makes tea money
she promised me she'd be good for me
but, I don't want her making tea money
