Intro:  /        /

                        /
If I don’t see you again
                         /
It was a hell of a ride
               
Don’t need to say lets be friends
Don’t need to promise you’ll write

                                    /
We rode that train through the night
                            /
And never cared where it went
                          /
If I don’t see you again


            /  
If I don’t see you again
           /
We ran a whole other race
               
Two strangers meet on the road
And find their time and their place 
          
We never once had to lie
                 
We’d passed the age of consent
                         /
If I don’t see you again


             
I know its crazy out there
          
I hated sleeping around
                         
I went out looking for love
           
And never liked what I found
              
Don’t pay to make it alone
                
God knows it’s lonely out there
                     
I made it once on my own
           
And hardly anyone cared
                        /
If I don’t see you again

       
Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
                     
When the nights get suddenly cold
Who’s gonna hold you 

Who’s gonna know Who will you go to?

Who you gonna call if it ain’t me
When your feeling lost and there’s nobody out there

Looking for you, What will you do?

Where will you go?
                        /
If I don’t see you again


          /         
If I don’t see you again
          /
You made it happen somehow
           
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
               
Something you said turned me round
Don’t even know what you meant
                        /
If I don’t see you again


           
And at the end of the day
          
I hated sleeping alone
                 
There’s nothing worse when you’re lost
               
And you don’t wanna go home
           
Its gonna work out some way
              
I just don’t wanna be found
             
I’m waiting here round the bend
             
And I’ll be hanging around
                        /
If I don’t see you again



Who am I kidding I’m going nowhere
I can’t even get through an hour
              
Without you should be ashamed
                     
Just wanna hear you calling my name

Two of us missed connections
Guess we must have somehow missed something more


     
Cos we’re here alone
                           
I know we’re together but too far apart
                         
To know how to get back home


              
Its time for saying goodbye
           
Cos if I stay for too long
               
You’d get to know me too well
               
And find that something was wrong
             
The time is perfect to go
            
Before the curtain descends
                
Right now when both of us know
             
That everything’s got to end
                        /
If I don’t see you again


                 
What’s it gonna come to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
                     
When the nights get filled up with doom
Looking to run
                  
You run out of room
     
And will you be the one to save me
Doesn’t look like the future is clearing

Need you to hear me playing a tune
      
When nobody hears me
                         
I end up playing to the moon


              
Its time for saying goodbye
           
Cos if I stay for too long
               
You’d get to know me too well
               
And find that something was wrong
             
The time is perfect to go

            
Before the curtain descends
                
Right now when both of us know
                   
That everything’s got to end
                        /
If I don’t see you again


                        /  
If I don’t see you again
Somehow we both made it through
              
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
              
You went and turned me around
              
Could be was something you said
                
I couldn’t make out the sound
          
I didn’t care what it meant
                             
If I don’t see you again
                             
If I don’t see you again
                         /         /  
If  I don’t see you again

Just a slight tweak on the previous version but, I think, just a little closed to
the album track on Home Before Dark.  Enjoy ---- RV
