[Verse 1]

Can't sleep in the city

You're far away

Cigarettes keep you skinny

And your mind off the rain

Oh sometimes, sometimes

Oh sometimes, sometimes

[Verse 2]

Feelings are distant

And I know guilt by name

It was the hardest thing

Watching you slip away

Oh sometimes, sometimes

Oh sometimes, sometimes

[Chorus]

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

[Verse 3]

Good morning, sweet thing

You're safe in my hands

I am no saint

But I understand

Oh sometimes, sometimes

Oh sometimes, sometimes

[Chorus]

Sometimes it happens feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

Now that it is over, it is through

It gets me every time I think of you

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Oh, sometimes

[Verse 4]

I miss your warm skin

Beside me at night

And I miss your flesh

In the dawn light

Oh sometimes, sometimes

Oh sometimes, sometimes

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

Sometimes, it happens feelings die

Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye

We once had it all but events conspired

Oh, sometimes

Saturn's decline in my star sign

Seasonal adjustments, stars realign

Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Oh, sometimes

Sometimes
