Tekst Utworu

I saw your picture in the Evening Standard
You were wearing your battle dress
Oh well, I really must confess
That I shed a silent smile for you
It had really blown my mind
And I wonder, are you still so kind?
Are you still so pure?
There are other rhymes around here somewhere
But I'm not too sure how they fit
Oh, Jenny, penny for your thoughts
I wonder how you're thinking now
I hesitate to visualise
Our worlds are much too different
That's a sign of the times
But time was when I read your cards
And wrote the numbers while you were in the dust
I can't remember what they were, but anyhow
(I missed the cusp)
(So, so long, and so, goodbye)
(Do you think I'd recognise you by your hair or by your mind now?)
Well, we start out together
But the paths all divide
When there are no more crossroads
I o-o-o-o-o-o-open my eyes
And find I'm walking on alone
Through the snowy cold
Yes, and I wonder if I'm gonna make it through the night?
I'm an author and an actor too
You're a model in the zoo
I'm just thinking on which side of the bars
Am I looking through
If I prophesied an avalanche
Would you wait and call my bluff?
If I gave you just a little song
Would that be enough to save your life
Or is the knife already turning in my hand?
