Now it begins
Now that you're gone
Needles and pins

Twilight til dawn
Watching that clock
Til you return

Hiding that torch
And watching it burn.


Now it begins
Day after day
This is my life

Ticking away
Waiting to hear
Footsteps that say

Love will appear
And this time to stay.


Oh each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last

This time the big hurt will end.

Now it begins

Now that you're gone
Needles and pins
Twilight til dawn

But if you don't
Come back again
I wonder when

Oh when will it end
The big hurt.
