Letters need sending
The kitchen's a disgrace
Grease all over the place
I see your pretty picture
The one you gave me last Easter
Has a moustache drawn in green
Where your lipstick should have been
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
The ashtrays are brimful
My secrets are sinful
And I drink a lot now
It's the only friend I've got now
I'd write you a letter
But there's a hole in my sweater
And I need to mend it
So I wouldn't have the time to send it
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
I could not live with you
But it's so hard without you
I'm a helpless case
A misfit social disgrace
Maybe next century
I'll come to my senses
Work out the reason why
You never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
