I thought I knew, what love was all about,
I fell in, she fell out,
Standing on the platform, I tried to wave goodbye,
But as the train left the station, she did not catch my eye,
And it's always you,
In the half-shell with the veil pulled cross your face,
With your lover on your arm, and your eyes cast into space,
Come to me baby, I'm so alone,
You're all I've ever wanted, cos you're all I've ever known,
Don't try to roll me back, I am not made of stone,
When you left, you left a hole in me, down to the bone,
Scenes beyond description, dreams beyond control,
The numbness of conviction, long night of the soul,
(All this repetition, is bound to take its toll)
The choice is plain before me, delusion or despair,
But by the time it matters, I'll be too strung out to care.
And it's always you,
Like the Virgin Mary with child tugging at your sleeve,
Tell me lies, only this time, honey, make me believe,
Come to me baby, reap what you have sown,
There's a long-distance dial, screaming through the telephone,
Look at you baby, all your lovers are out on loan,
When you left you left a hole in me, down to the bone.
Faith turned its back on me, there lies the mystery,
Why love must come and go, I guess I'll never know
Come to me baby, I'm so alone,
When you left, you left a hole in me,
Down to the bone
