The people and tables are set to the bone

The ladies in waiting long to go home

Wallflowers drooping against pastel shades

Oh for a man with no lock on his gate



Waiting for nothing confuses the mind

Letting go pieces for no one to find

The smell from the afternoon sits in the air

Oh for a man with no back to his chair



I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never got

I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never once got



Sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar

Something had been telling me you were not far

From a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell

Oh for a man with no stories to tell



I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never got

I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never once got



The people and tables are set to the bone

The ladies in waiting long to go home

Wallflowers drooping against pastel shades

Oh for a man with no lock on his gate



Waiting for nothing confuses the mind

Letting go pieces for no one to find

The smell from the afternoon sits in the air

Oh for a man with no back to his chair



I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never got

I never wanted i never wanted

And i never got i never once got
