You said you'd wait at night for me,
Near where the swings have always been
I left my house and made no sound,
Not a soul was all around
Soon I saw the streetlights glow,
Ran towards to say hello,
Everything was in my view,
Everything and everything but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you

I took a left and stole a right
Counted my steps on that dark night
I knew you must be somewhere near
You'd said you'd meet me here
Maybe you had lost your way
In the shadows blue and grey
Everything was clear and true,
Everything and everything but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you

What could I do? I still had faith
I saw my clock's dishevelled face
But hours passed and still no sign,
Days and nights and Summertimes
I am old but have no fear,
You said you would meet me here
Everything is clear and true,
Everything and everything but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you
Oh, but you
