Lyrics[]
There’s a store on the corner that’s always been there
Across from the station of Parliament Square
And it’s now 5:30 she must’ve left early tonight
I walked through the door and I spoke to her dad
He told me she left with the savings she had
He had that she left me note
And this is the way that it wrote
It said;
Here I go, far away
Couldn’t wait, had to move on
But it’s you I’m missing
Had a dream, you and me
Lying here, out in the sun
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Ooh yeah
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
When we met at 16 remember we said
That we’d stay together
But I guess that you've lost the ring that I gave you
And lost all the money that I had, that I had
She said;
Here I go, far away
Couldn’t wait, had to move on
But it’s you I’m missing
Had a dream, you and me
Lying here, out in the sun
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Here I go, far away
Couldn’t wait, had to move on
But it’s you I’m missing
Had a dream, you and me
Lying here, out in the sun
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Oh yeah
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Oh yeah, mmm [birds]
There’s a store on the corner that’s always been there
Across the station of Parliament Square
Maybe I’ll write her a note
Or maybe I should let her…
Go, no, no!
Here I go, far away
Couldn’t wait, had to move on
But it’s you I’m missing
Had a dream, you and me
Lying here, out in the sun
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Here I go, far away
Couldn’t wait, had to move on
But it’s you I’m missing
Had a dream, you and me
Lying here, out in the sun
Oh baby it hurts when you’re gone
Ooh, (???)
