A Thing of the Past
One way ticket. Window seat. Heartache at 30,000 feet. The future fades
into memories. I'll get by somehow.
Three point landing at L.A.X. Pockets filled with Traveller's Cheques.
Passenger filled with regrets. It's all too clear to me now.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies and cars that run on
regular gas. War love letters and high school sweaters. Beetle boots
and bell bottom pants. Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees and
all the things that weren't meant to last. It's sad to find that you
and i are nothing but A Thing of the Past.
No one's waitin' to meet my plane. 2,000 miles and i feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name and that's just fine with me.
Out the window the crowded streets are lined with people with someone
to meet. While i sit here keepin' company with what used to be.
