lyrics

The last train left - you were too young to know

You took what could be taken where you had to go

But you couldn't come back once you went through that door

There's no one home to welcome you no more

Your book life brought you far as you could run

There's no forgiveness for the things you never done.

He told you what to read and what the wise men say

He showed you how to work and taught you when to play

In the evening, by the fire, with you near

He read to you of Hamlet and King Lear

But you never understood nothing was won

There's no forgiveness for the things you never done.

Your watch reads one but now it's half past eight

Leave what you left before - already it's too late

The hands up on the wall won't stop for you

You gave away your past for something new

And time don't turn around for anyone

There's no forgiveness for the things you never done.
