When you were younger Blue eyed boy wonder Never used to ponder On what life may hide
Now that you're older The nights are so much colder Never even told her How you feel inside
You were so proud With your head up in the white clouds She'd call you so loud But you'd never know
Now that you're wiser You'd never compromise her Ever day you'd realise her But this bird has flown
And you've blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you've never done
She would wait for you Idolise, adore you Love and reassure you You couldn't let it be
You let it linger Slip on through your fingers So that September She moved across the sea
How your face dropped And how your heart stopped Sitting at the bus stop When they told you that she’d gone
So you run to the harbour Need to tell her that you love her As the boat disappears You never felt so alone
'Cause you’ve blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you never done Where were you when her hour of need had come? Now you curse yourself for things you never done
Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why So your answer don’t be scared of failure For the only failure is never to try
