Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep me skinny, and your mind off the rain
Oh sometimes, sometimes
Oh sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Oh sometimes, sometimes
Oh sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired, sometimes

Good morning sweet thing, you're safe in my hands
I am no saint, but I understand
Oh sometimes, sometimes
Oh sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired, sometimes

Now that it's over, it is through
It gets me every time I think of you
Sometimes it happens, feelings die, sometimes

I miss your warm skin, beside me at night
I miss your flesh, in the dawn light
Oh sometimes, sometimes
Oh sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired, sometimes

Saturn's decline in my star sign
Seasonal adjustments, stars realign
Sometimes it happens, feelings die, sometimes
Oh sometimes
