That frightening little sound it's just the world awake
It's just a way of saying we're in business
It's just a lightning strike, it's just a family row
It's just the give and take of forgiveness
Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets well not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames
Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake
Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets well not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames
So don't you cry they're, they're only words
They're only the saddest thing you've ever heard
Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awakeCan't get rid of this blue sun
It's been so long since I've had fun
She's wearing a special dress
We're in a terrible mess
It's been so long since I've been home
Since I've had fun
I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
My retreat's in my head
Take back those things that you said
I might as well have been dead
But I'm staying sane instead
I've saved my face
Saving grace
Saving grace
It's been so long since I've been home
I'll be there soon, soon, soon
My retreat's in my head
Take back those things that you said
I might as well have been dead
But I'm staying sane instead
I've saved my face
Saving grace
Saving grace
It's been so long since I've been home
Since I've been home
I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Yeah, I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Soon
