Everything but You - Thirsty Merc

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
