Lloyd Cole - Nevers End Lyrics

if i ever was, then now i`m less than sure
what i was waiting for
if i could find the strenght to walk
me i`m drinking the sea
she will send me to sleep
surely there must be an easy way
and i`ll say it again will the nevers end
do i have to forgive to forget
i wrote a letter only yesterday
i can not recall what i wanted to say
i saw a chance, i let it pass me by
this is the shallow age, my friend
i say never again will the nevers end
this is not what i had meant to say
so i`m drinking the sea, trying to pick up the pieces
and say it never again
if i ever was then now i`m less than sure
and this is the shallow age, my friend
