As much as I love you
   As much as I care
   I just can't pretend that
   The problem's not there
   We know all the boundaries
   From where we both stand
   Our life has been happy
   Without any plan
   But now I feel sorrow
   As friendship turns stale
   Our love's still on track but
   Without a third rail
   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
  
   White clouds appear like cotton wool
   The wind bends trees to bow
   As we farewell this love of ours
   Like some old sacred cow
   As sure as heaven's above us
   And hell is down below
   Without a third rail to drive us
   We'll have no place to go
  
   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
