They found us in the courtyard at our table in the shade We toasted our last few moments and then the end came They took us back to the airstrip in that beaten up old car And we rattled across the African scrubland in silence Our hands locked together with cold steel cuffs Sometimes I wish it was still that way Now a whole world has died since then, so many faithless days I was born alone and lucky and I'm just used to it that way My dice still roll in sixes and yours still turn up ones And I have taken my good fortune and I've run and run But I always swore I'd come back for you Is it too late now to come back for you ?
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6 We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair Someone's just gone and written 'I'm sorry' there Well I always swore I'd come back for you Is it too late now to come back for you? You're the only one I'll ever love
