There's a schoolboy in a raincoat 
Leaving from the harbour 
Is he thinking of his hometown, 
will he ever more return? 
Every day he'll be sailing far away 
Every day, all his lifetime 
A lifetime takes a lifetime to fulfill 
There's a diamond and a ruby 
shining on the sidewalk 
Will you find them, will you keep them? 
If you won't, they'll disappear 
On every road, there's a diamond made just for you, 
Every year, all your lifetime 
A lifetime takes a lifetime to find out 
You can wander about 'til you figure it out 
come-what-may, seize the day, or flitter away 
you can fiddle a bit with the little twiddly bit 
ringing through your door 
Every day 
come and play 
Sing your song 
bring it along 
wild and free is the melody 
ringing through your door 
There's a poem in your mailbox 
A private piece of paper 
will you see it, can you hear it? 
'cause it's gone before the night 
Every day, every morning, the words are new 
Every day, all your lifetime 
A lifetime takes a lifetime to forget 
You can wander about 'til you figure it out 
come-what-may, seize the day, or flitter away 
you can fiddle a bit with the little twiddly bit 
ringing through your door 
Every day 
come and play 
Sing your song 
bring it along 
wild and free is the melody 
ringing through your door 
A lifetime takes a lifetime to fulfill
