Can't sleep in the city, you're far away

Cigarettes keep you skinny and your mind off the rain

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, and I know guilt by name

It was the hardest thing, watchin' you slip away

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all, but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

Good morning, sweet thing, you're safe in my hands

I am no saint but I understand

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all, but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

Now that it is over, it is through

It gets me every time I think of you

And sometimes it happens, feelings die

Oh, sometimes

I miss your warm skin beside me at night

And I miss your flesh in the dawn light

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Oh, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all, but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

Saturn's decline in the star sign

Seasonal adjustments, stars realign

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Oh, sometimes

Sometimes
