The writing's on the subway wall
I'm sorry that I never called
I, I never phoned
or wrote to you
It's silly 'cause
I wanted to
Oh yes, the subway wall
sadly seems to say it all
It's my mistake, I know that now
a bit too late to cry...
You're somewhere else
with someone else
and here am I, all by myself
An empty wall, and empty me
I write the things that should've been
I tell the world how much I care
and miss the one
that isn't there
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall....
The writing's on the subway wall
and give or take a year or so
someone will come
and rub it out
delete the words
that hurt my heart
Oh yes, there will remain
a little hurt, a little stain
the memory can still be read
upon the wall
inside my head
OH - The writing on the wall
(right on)
Oh - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall
(write on)
Oh - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall....
