She drove her mother's car, 'twas a 2cv   I was most impressed by her casual dress   I was most impressed   Inside her rented room colored deepest blue   I suppose we found some kind of happiness   To fill the emptiness   We were simply wasting precious time   Hiding from the cruelest summer sky   She took her mother's car to get away from me   Heaven knows that i, I can sympathize   Oh I can sympathize   For we were never close if the truth were told   All we ever shared was a taste in clothes   Oh we were never close   We were simply losing everything   Underneath the cruelest london sun   We were simply wasting precious time   We were simply wasting precious time   We were simply wasting precious time
