|
The steps he took were nice and easy. |
|
He never knew he could stumble and go down. |
|
As he saw the buildings and the mountains crumble, |
|
Over the road he would take to the town. |
|
He said, ``next year i'm coming back, i'll see you later.'' |
|
It takes longer when you're far away. |
|
There's a tale which says he was pursued by an assassin. |
|
What he knows of that, no-one can tell. |
|
How close he came to the trapper, |
|
But he stopped by a wishing well. |
|
He said, ``next year there will be many flowers, |
|
Each one much brighter than the one before.'' |
|
As he turned he caught the feeling, |
|
And he smiled as he walked down the road. |
|
All my days they are filled with meaning, |
|
But i have yet to fathom the code. |
|
But next year i'll call the tune and it won't be easy, |
|
The timing's all out of place with how you feel. |
|
Next year i'm coming back, i'll see you later. |
|
It takes longer when you are far away. |
|
Next year there will be many flowers, |
|
Each one much brighter than the one before. |
|
Next year i'll call the tune and it won't be easy, |
|
The timing's all out of place with how you feel. |
