2nd Verse:
The moon has come up now
The sun has gone down
A million or more times since you've been around
Our life still goes on but
it won't be the same
As when we're together, love only knows pain
With words that are tender
Our love will prevail
But can our love go on,
without a third rail
CWhite clouds apDmpear like cotton Amwool
The wind bends D7trees to bow
        FmBd                Fm  
As we farewell this love of ours
              Bd
like some old sacred cow
CAs sure as Dmheaven's above us
Amand hell is D7down below
              FmBd
Without a third rail to drive us
Amwe'll have no D7place to go
3rd Verse:
There's a lump in my throat
I'm choked as I say
Our love has reached twilight, let's call it a day
We kiss on the platform
The doors slowly close
Like theatre curtains pulled after the show
We both know it's over
And somehow we've failed
Love's going in circles
without a third rail
