Lyrics
There's a sign on the cafe window
It says, "Closed, please call again"
If only you'd been wearing that sign on your heart
I never would have tried to come in
'Cause if true love will make you survive
When a pushing comes to a shove
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
As to try and go and win your love
So throw me a penny in the wishing well
Knocking my fist from the wood
Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world
When crying seems to do me no good
There were nights when I wander on the streets alone
I see your face in the stars above
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
As to try and go and win your love
There's a sign on the hotel doorway
It says, "No vacancy"
If only I'd known you felt that way
I could have smiled and walked on by
I heard that true love will lift you off your feet
As if you had the wings of a dove
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
As to try and go and win your love
So throw me a penny in the wishing well
Knocking my fist from the wood
Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world
When crying seems to do me no good
There were nights when I wandered on the streets alone
I see your face in the stars above
But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
As to try and go and win your love
Yes, I may as well have tried to hold back the tide
As to try and go and win your love
