After Before and After - Lloyd Cole

I’ve got the lock on the low

I’m going back to New Mexico

Cold comfort and kerosene

Plain solitude

Guess I lost my touch

Those little things that used to mean so much

Seem so insignificant

In the cold, cold light

Well, how wrong can you be?

And how long must it take to see

That your world

Can spin fine, without me

Now, there’s nothing more to say

It’s all right

People change

Well, you can paint me blue

And I could lay the whole thing on you

Or hold on a-la Hollywood

O’Neil and McGraw

But the trouble with me

Is that it took me so long to see

That the rain is pouring without you

And I’ve got nothing left to say

It’s all right

People change

You can take my love

And bury it deep

And I’ll take your love

And I’ll bury it deep

I’ll bury it deep

Well, how wrong can you be?

And how long must it take to see

That your world

Is turning, without me

Now, there’s nothing more to say

It’s all right

People change
