 x 2
  You  said you'd wait at  night for  me,
  Near  where the swings have  always been.
  I left  my house and made no sound,
  Not  a soul was all around.
  Soon  I saw the streetlights  glow,
  Ran  towards to say hello,
  Everything  was in my view,
  Everything  and everything  but you.
 Oh,  but you
  Oh, but  you
  Oh, but  you
 I took a left and stole  a right
  Counted  my steps on that  dark night.
  I  knew you must be somewhere  near
  You'd  said you'd meet me  here.
  Maybe  you had lost your  way
  In  the shadows blue and  grey.
  Everything  was clear and  true,
  Everything  and everything  but you.
  Oh, but  you
  Oh, but  you
  Oh, but  you
 What could I do you? I  still  had faith.
  I  saw my clock's dishevelled  face.
 But hours passed and still no  sign,
  Days  and nights and Summertimes.
 I am old but have no fear,
 You said you would meet  me here.
 Everything is clear and  true,
 Everything and everything  but you.
  Oh, but  you
  Oh, but you
  Oh, but  you
