The Plimsouls - Oldest Story In The World - 1983

One of the greatest break-up songs ever written.

Lyrics:

It makes perfect sense Seeing how the seeds were sown To find you out there on your own You said your goodbyes And broke all the ties It struck me dumb To think I tried for you Tonight you can feel The seasons changing You'll never change When you're no better than the weather You're cool But there's rain in your heart You're blowin' like a feather

And that's the oldest story in the world You lost the key to paradise That's the oldest story in the world

Did we have it made? Somehow I thought we could remain If nothing lasts No one's to blame And you can't look back To where you got off the track That's a mystery that we'll never crack

It's just the oldest story in the world We lost the key to paradise That's the oldest story in the world Someday we gotta to set it right And that's the oldest story in the world You'll hear it again and again That's the oldest story in the world, yeah

Somehow I thought we could remain If nothing lasts No one's to blame And you can't look back To where you got off the track That's a mystery that we'll never crack

And that's the oldest story in the world Lost the key to paradise That's the oldest story in the world Someday we gotta to set it right That's the oldest story in the world Just like a rolling stone That's the oldest story, that's the oldest story Now you can't go home And that's the oldest story in the world, yeah

"Well, I don't want to leave But it's time to go" "Where?" "Well, I just don't know" And that's the oldest story in the world
