Now it begins, now that's you've gonenNeedles and pins, twilight till dawnnWatching the clock till you returnnLighting that torch and watching it burnnnNow it begins, day after daynThis is my life, ticking awaynWaiting to hear footsteps that saynLove will appear and this time to staynnEach time you gonI try to pretendnIt's over at lastnAnd this time the big hurt will endnnNow it begins, now that's you've gonenNeedles and pins, twilight till dawnnBut if you don't come back againnI'll wonder when, oh when will it endnThe big hurtnThe big hurtnThe big hurt
