You will search, babe, at any cost But how long, babe, can you search for what is not lost? Everybody will help you Some people are very kind But if I can save you any time Come on, give it to me I'll keep it with mine I can't help it if you might think I am odd If I say I'm not loving you not for what you are But for what you're not Everybody will help you Discover what you set out to find But if I can save you any time Come on, give it to me I'll keep it with mine The train leaves at half past ten But it'll be back in the same old spot again The conductor He's still stuck on the line And if I can save you any time Come on, give it to me I'll keep it with mine
