Just In Time (To Watch Love Die)

(album: Tattoo - 1977)

Threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
Never knew that I'd miss her until now

From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
Yea, I got there just in time to watch love die

There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
Guess I should have known I would not find her here

From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
But I got there much to late to say goodbye.
