Lyrics
ON FILE
All that you wanted was flowers for the bride
I knew that soon they'd be wilted and dried
Whilst you fill vases with tears that you cried
I'm sat here thinkin' at least no-one died
A chilling chime chorused from your ticking clock
Timing my steps as I'm dragged to the dock
Sentenced to life to share cells with your flock
Eternity trying to pick at the lock
So sorry to say
We missed by a mile
Like so many others
You're now just on file
Now time has moved on, 2 years down the line
Your memory faded, I'm doing just fine
And then you move to the street that was mine
You're maybe hoping I think it's a sign
So sorry to say
We missed by a mile
Like so many others
You're now just on file
