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
