VERSE 2
It was October,  but by then I had my doubts
we once had something but by then I wanted out
we stayed with a friend that I had always held quite dear
She loved him in the tropics for the rest of the year
CHORUS
I lost my lover, but I'll get over that
to find another, where's the sense in that?
I got on that train I must confess I shed a tear
but she stayed in the tropics for the rest of the year
