  • The colder the night gets
    The further she strains
    And he doesn't like it
    Being this way

    And she tried so hard
    To steer away
    From the meeting place
    But her heart had left her there

    She clings to his consciousness
    Wherever he laid
    Struggles to sleep at night
    And during the day

    He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
    To drag him back to the meeting place
    His love had left in there
    Where the voices still echoes

    I'm sorry I met you darling
    I'm sorry I met you
    As she turned into the night
    All he had was the words
    "I'm sorry I met you darling
    I'm sorry I left you"

    Four weeks they had trolled around
    Playing the fools
    They knew the time would come
    And time would be cruel

    Because it is cruel to everyone
    He is crying out from the meeting place
    He stranded himself there
    Where the voice still echo

    I'm sorry I met you darling
    I'm sorry I met you
    As she turned into the night
    All he had was the words
    "I'm sorry I met you darling
    I'm sorry I left you"
    I'm sorry I met you darling
    I'm sorry I've left you Writer/s: Alexander David Turner, Miles Peter Kane
