Paul Michiels - No Rewind

In a sleepy bordertown, when the sun was setting down
I was sittin’ in a café, drinkin’ up my wine
When I saw a dark hair beauty, come slowly walk up to me
And wait for me to say the words I couldn’t find

No rewind, how was I to know that if…
I let the moment go, I’d wish I could get it back
No rewind, ask for another chance, but lady luck just laughs
Says ‘The moment’s passed’, and moves on down the line

So the mariachis played, as I watched her walk away
I was reaching in my pocket, to pay at closing time
When it hit me that so cooly, she'd come right up and fool me
Gotten what she wanted, taking every dime

No rewind, how was I to know that if…
I let the moment go, I’d wish I could get it back
No rewind, ask for another chance, but lady luck just laughs
Says ‘The moment’s passed’, and moves on down the line bridge : Guess this only goes to show, that you can never know
What's moving down the line…

Now I can still be found, in a sleepy border town
Working in that café down to closing time

No rewind, how was I to know that if…
I let the moment go, I’d wish I could get it back
No rewind, ask for another chance, but lady luck just laughs
Says ‘The moment’s passed’, and moves on down the line

She moves on down the line

…moves on down the line…
