When I came back from the east
I found you in uniform
Standing to attention tall
With no glimpse of the human heart
I needed you in my arms
But I was all you scorned
And I fell hard for you
As I fell far for you.
Take me now; show me you love me,
Take me now; show me what you take me for
In this lost decade
Could you love me like you did before?
Telephoning city to city
Notified of second thoughts
Of how you came to rust in me
When all around you were betrayed
So now your suitcase stands by the doorway
You turn the lights off in the hallway
Call a taxi say good-bye
And one fine morning
Take me now; show me you love me,
Take me now; show me what you take me for
In this lost decade
Could you love me like you did before?
(We all make mistakes you said
You were lucky to escape I said
Tomorrow we will run much faster
And one fine morning.)
