There Was You

It was straight out the door to the factory floor
I was looking for something to do
I was greener than most and I worked a machine
Cutting track for the people who knew

Lost and alone, I was turning to stone
And I just didn't know what to do
But way up ahead at the end of the road
There was you

When tragedy came, it knew me by name
I was spending my nights in the bar
I started to dream, but that doesn't work
When you sleep in the back of the car

Lost and alone, I was turning to stone
And I still didn't know what to do
But out of the blue at the end of the road
There was you

I was broken and loose, with my head in the noose
I was ready to give up the ghost
But at last I was found, when it all turned around
With a letter from you in the post

Lost and alone, I was turning to stone
And I still didn't know what to do
But out of the blue at the end of the road
There was you

Lost and alone, I was turning to stone
And I still didn't know what to do
But out of the gloom with your flower in bloom
There was you

There was you
There was you
