Hey, is that you floating by?
Aren't you even going to say goodbye?
Have we reached the end of the line
One more time?

Remember when you were the apple of my eye
And I was the best thing in your life?
Did you tell me a lie?
Is it only for the good times?

But now I don't mind
You just walk on by
You can take me to the river
'Cause time is on my side

Still water and the moonlight
Are all that's in these arms of mine
The soul survivor and, you know the reverend, they tell me
I've got to get you off my mind

If you ask me what's going on
Well, I've been loving you too long
Ain't no sunshine, if I ain't got you
But I, I know a change is gonna come

Hey, I know you're all alone
But what I am supposed to do?
You need to find yourself a new home
Where you can cry
And drown yourself in your modern music
And be fourteen until the day you die

Oh aye
It takes its toll
At the centre of your life's a hole
Don't know the reason why
But now, honey, you've been told
The truth is, babe you just ain't got no soul

I don't mind
You just walk on by
You can take me to the river
'Cause time is on my side

Still water and the moonlight
Are all that's in these arms of mine
The soul survivor and, you know the reverend, they tell me
I've got to get you off my mind

If you ask me what's going on
Well, I've been loving you too long
Ain't no sunshine, if I ain't got you
But I, I know a change is gonna come
