All of my life, Angels have gone
I'm changing trains
Angels like them thin on the ground
All of my life

When friends are thin on the ground and they try to divide us
We must find a way

Options were relatively thin on the ground

But hearts for love—thin on the ground, I tell you!

We never talked of settling down
I guess rational thinking was thin on the ground
He was saying maybe we could stay friends
