Third Rail Lyrics

As much as I love you
As much as I care
I just can't pretend that
The problem's not thereWe know all the boundaries
From where we both stand
Our life has been happy
Without any planBut now, I feel sorrow
As friendship turns stale
Our love's still on track but
Without a third railThe moon has come up now
The sun has gone down
A million or more times
Since you've been aroundOur life still goes on but
It won't be the same
As when we're together
Love only knows painWith words that are tender
Our love will prevail
But can our love go on

Without a third railWhite clouds appear like cotton wool
The wind bends trees to bow
As we farewell this love of ours
Like some old sacred cowAs sure as Heaven's above us
And Hell is down below
Without a third rail to drive us
We'll have no place to goThere's a lump in my throat
I'm choked as I say
Our love has reached twilight
Let's call it a dayWe kiss on the platform
The doors slowly close
Like theater curtains
Pulled after the showWe both know it's over
And somehow we've failed
Love's going in circles
Without a third rail
