| September falls, autumn’s in the air
|
| A hand-me-down blazer, a plait in my hair
|
| Never on time, that’s the way it goes
|
| When I’m dragging my heels down Atlantic Road
|
| Rich in poor girl’s clothes
|
| They kept me safe when the world was cold
|
| It didn’t matter they were worn out before
|
| Well I never wanted for anything more
|
| When we were nothing, we had it all
|
| Your arms of loving kept me warm
|
| And all I wanted
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| I think of something that I wanna be
|
| Your arms of love wrapped around me
|
| And I’m coming home
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| You take my hand when I cut my knee
|
| You kiss it better, you heal me
|
| And even now when it gets too much
|
| You’re by my side
|
| And I’m rich in second-hand clothes
|
| They keep me safe when the world is cold
|
| It doesn’t matter they were worn out before
|
| And I don’t want for anything more
|
| When we were nothing, we had it all
|
| Your arms of loving kept me warm
|
| And all I wanted
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| I think of something that I wanna be
|
| Your arms of love wrapped around me
|
| And I’m coming home
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| We laugh, we cry, we get by
|
| And we gotta be strong
|
| Always gotta stay strong
|
| We struggle, we fight when we rise
|
| And we gotta be strong
|
| Always gotta stay strong
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| When we were nothing, we had it all
|
| Your arms of loving kept me warm
|
| And all I wanted
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| I think of something that I wanna be
|
| Your arms of love wrapped around me
|
| And I’m coming home
|
| Cause you gave me everything that you never had
|
| You gave me everything that you never had
|
| You gave me everything that you never had
|
| All I can do is try and give you something back |
