Every time you go away
I know it won’t be for long, though it seems
And all the times we spend apart
That ticking-tock clock seems to last for weeks

Well, I guess it is quite wrong
To expect you to climb up here each week
Yes, I guess it ain’t so long
Four hours on a bus for you’s a treat

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ bout you

Yes, I know there’s a million miles
And aeroplanes, well, they keep us apart
But when I sit alone at night on my bus, darling
Well, you’re in my heart

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here
Thinkin’ ’bout you
Thinkin’ ’bout you

So complicated times have passed
But I’m sorry, babe, I feel the same for you
Yes, I know I broke it off, but I’m sorry, babe
You just didn’t stay true

And it won’t be long
And it won’t be long
All day long, I sit here thinkin’ ’bout
You
