Went downstairs, to sit and think,
Into the bar for a couple of drinks.
I need some time, to clear my mind of you.

Making time with the girls for awhile,
We share a dance and share a smile.
I need some time, to clear my mind of you.

Central Park, on a moonlit night,
Something in me just ain't right.
I need more time, to clear my mind of you.

So back downtown, to sit and think,
Into the bar for a couple more drinks.
I need more time, to clear my mind of you.

It's easier not to do what you're told.
I have this fear of growing old.
Alone and cold, trying to hold on to you.

Sally Hayes, where have you been?
Help me from myself again.
All I needed was time, to clear my mind of you.
