[MRS JOHNSTONE]
Only mine until
The time comes 'round
To pay the bill
Then I'm afraid
What can't be paid
Must be returned
You never, ever learn
That nothing's yours
On easy terms

Only for a time
I must not learn to call you mine
Familiarise that face, those eyes
Make future plans
That cannot be confirmed
On borrowed time
On easy terms

Living on the never-never
Constant as the changing weather
Never sure who's at the door
Or the price I'll have to pay
Should we meet again
I will not recognise your name
You can be sure
What's gone before
Will be concealed
Your friends will never learn
That once we were
On easy terms
