The year was 1991 And I began to see And I just don't remember much Way too much for me And I preferred the chances they took Back in '65 People cared about living more than Being alive But darling now don't you say To me that I don't care And darling won't you give A second of your care To a man so badly blinded From the life of working hard She said no Remember all the working men Standing at the bar And I said I'll buy you, if you buy mine That'll take us far But I preferred the way it was Before I had to pay I seen some other man involved He tried to get away But I remember how it was back then Remmeber where you come from Remember who you are Don't you be no stranger no I know you've come too far Oh no no no no no

Well now's the time for gettin' honest About all you want to be All the things you're dreaming of And all the things you see Well I'm so sick and tired Of trying to be myself I don't know who I am Am I somebody else? And it really doesn't matter much How many times you say to me And it really doesn't matter much, no Doesn't matter now all that much to me Cos' I got more than most Cos' I got more than most Well then you came and you caught my eye Well I grabbed my stuff and said goodbye to you Oh you My love Well now to see you for the last time I wonder what we'd say Try to stop the sun going down Try to find a way I hope I never find Answers I don't need I know how long my love may last Fine if it succeeds
