What's that you say
He's on his own, always alone
An English man, you understand
Has he got a heart of stone
Calm and yet, you can detect sometimes a frown
Not a sound, young Washington Down
Why be bold in an age of regret
If you're sure that your values are set
At this fast rate you've no need to run
Take it easy young Washington
Wait for love, for you know love can wait
Look for danger before it's too late
You know from the past just how fast time can come
Take it easy young Washington
If I seem so suddenly cruel
Know that jealousy burns as a rule
Try to struggle you know you know you can't fight
Walk on silently into the night
