Lyrics
On a misty cold November day
These phone booths are so cold
Please answer me.
But I hardly know what I can say
Always seems to go that way
Can you hear me?
We didn't have time enough
That helpless feeling came too soon
We didn't have time enough to know.
Don't tell me
I don't want to know why
That feeling went away
It went so quickly.
And the things we said melted away
Like the snow in early May
Gone forever, oh no.
We didn't have time enough
That helpless feeling came too soon
We didn't have time enough to know.
God knows it's hard enough to protect yourself
If you easily give yourself away.
There's something deep and special inside of me
And I gave it to you but you threw me away.
Does it matter who brought it on?
I just don't know where to start
To pick myself up.
All I know is the empty pain I feel
In the morning it's just to real, just too real.
We didn't have time enough
That helpless feeling came too soon.
We didn't have time enough to know.
We didn't have time enough
That helpless feeling came too soon.
