Somebody told me, That you walked All the way here, Just to find me, But now you’re here, We’ve got nothing to say.
Fear and insecurity, Stole away our dreams But your face sings songs i’d love to hear But I don’t know what it means Should I take your hand and pick you up And walk off in the sun? Or we sit in silence and drink our tea, Then turn our backs to run?
We’ll never know We’ll never try We’re growing old and soon we’ll die.
Cos’ somebody told me That you smile All through the day time But you cry at night When you’re alone Cos’ you’ve got no one to hold. Life and love can come and go Or leave us in the cold But we’ll freeze to death before we see What can’t be bought and sold Should we sing these songs of innocence Or just close our eyes and hope? That a better world is possible If we rise above the smoke?
We’ll never know We’ll never try We’re growing old and soon we’ll die.
Somebody told me, That they saw, You from afar And that you’d grown old And when you died That there’d be no one to cry
We move so fast we can hardly see Where we want to go But we float like leaves and an autumn breeze We ebb and then we flow Should we stamp our feet and raise our fists And fight against the tide? Or we bow our heads and slowly drowned Because we never tried?
We’ll never know We’ll never try We’re growing old and soon we’ll die.
We’ll never know We’ll never try We’re growing old and soon we’ll die.
Somebody told me, That you walked All the way here, Just to find me, But now you’re here, We’ve got nothing to say.
