Every window in my hometown is empty
And I really don't know why
And the house you used to live in is cold and fallen down, yeah
And I am tired and I'm weary
And lord those grey skies bring me down
And I came home for just one reason
To find myself in this quiet town, yeah

And I keep thinking, oh I'm thinking time's been my teacher
I don't want to leave you
So please give me one more try
I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me

So please give me one more try
Oh, just give me one more try
One more try
I don't know where to go for one more try

All the days we spent together doing nothing
It all so seems so long ago
I thought the world turned around without me baby
But I just didn't know
That I was wrong to go and leave you
To go and leave your world behind
But now time has been my teacher
And now I finally found

I'm thinking time's been my teacher
I don't want to leave you
So please give me one more try
I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me
So please give me one more try

Just give me one more try
One more try
Oh, I don't know what to do
For one more try

Now I'm sitting in my hotel
Watching old films
Doing nothing once again
The difference now is you're not with me
And I'm lonelier than I've ever been

And I've been thinkin'
Time's been my teacher
I don't want to leave you
Please give me one more try
I'm tired and I'm weary but I want you near me
Please give me one more try

Just give me one more try
One more try
'Cause I don't know where to go
For one more try
