Stewart Al Next Time Lyrics

Next Time Lyrics

He heard the clatter of her heels in the street,

 The clock said half-past three

 He lay there waiting in the dark to hear

 The scraping of the front-door key

 He wouldn't say to her

 "Don't you want to know where you were?"

 She wouldn't find him there

 Next time

 

 She missed the train, she felt the rain upon her face

 It seemed to clear her head

 She watched him drive into the night

 A broken tail-light, a speck of red

 She still felt his touch

 It didn't seem to mean that much

 She wouldn't go back there

 Next time

 

 When you were just a kid you loved

 To go to movies in the afternoon

 And so you left the factory

 And got a job in the projection-room

 Bette Davis plays

 Ran away with the passing days

 You'll be a movie-star

 Next time
