A Dangerous Age |
| Night was fallin', the horizon was callin', as we drove into the setting sun |
| Goin' back to that country that we still call home |
| Said good bye to the capital city, yeah this town has got me on the run |
| I need to spend some time out in the great unknown. |
| I’m lookin' for sweet inspiration, every morning noon and night |
| But these days it just keeps on passing me by, |
| I know you don’t feel like making this journey, but you know that time is on my |
| side |
| I can’t go on living like a refugee |
| Way down south where the living is easy, we can look across the great divide |
| But all we’ve got is a pocketful of memories. |
| We stood on the motorway shoulder as the sun rose over the lowland hills |
| And my heart broke down, when I looked at you |
| Don’t tell me you’re leavin' me now, when you know how hard I’ve been tryin' |
| Darling you’re my world, don’t bring it all tumbling down |
| It’s only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin' |
| Don’t renege my love, don’t bring it all tumbling down. |
| One more morning, yes another day dawning, and I’m looking at a bird that sings |
| Wish I could change my whole life, and just fly away |
| Over the mountains down through the valleys, through the homeland of the Celtic |
| kings |
| Now it’s just the frontline for the U.S.A. |
| We live in a time when the spirit of love and devotion is breakin' down |
| And my heart broke down when I looked at you |
| Don’t tell me you’re leavin' me now, when you know how hard I’ve been tryin' |
| Darling you’re my world, don’t bring it all tumbling down |
| It’s only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin' |
| Don’t renege my love, don’t bring it all tumbling down. |
