| You were a survivor after all
|
| You never even called (I didn’t expect you to)
|
| Now, there’s such a lot you’ve done
|
| And you’re only twenty-one (yes, you’re only twenty-one)
|
| Oh, there’s just something; |
| something I noticed
|
| That there’s a whole world out there but it’s shrinking fast
|
| You want to take it all and make it last forever
|
| Or maybe just a lifetime
|
| Now you’ve gone to fly the flag
|
| From some pinprick on the map (won't you ever bring it back)
|
| Tonight, when you hold her in your arms
|
| And you prove that you’re a man (oh well, I hope she understands)
|
| Oh, there’s just something; |
| something I noticed
|
| That there’s a whole world out there but it’s shrinking fast
|
| You want to take it all and make it last forever
|
| Or maybe just a lifetime, maybe just a lifetime
|
| And some things just don’t ever go away
|
| Some things you know are just here to stay
|
| And in a golden field there is a little girl
|
| Left with a union jack
|
| And there’s a price to pay, no matter what you say
|
| There is no going back today
|
| And if we’re worlds apart, then I’ve still got a heart
|
| Can you imagine that?
|
| «Another wasted day», yes I can hear you say
|
| But I’m afraid, it means much more to me than that |
