I had nine lives but I lost all of them
And I've been searching in the night
And I've been searching in the rain
I tried to find them
but they disappeared
they walked away they dressed in black
they left my side and all I say
is that I wasted time
when I look for them
for now I know that things gone past
are never to be found again
No never, never again
I had nine lives
but lost all of them.
