When I came back from the east
I found you in uniform
Standing to attention tall
No glimpse of the human heart
I wanted 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?
Did before
You did before

Telephoning city to city
Notified of second thoughts
Of how you came to trust in me
While all around you were betrayed
Now your suitcase stands in the doorway
You turn the lights out 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?
Show me you love, show me what you take me for
In this lost decade
Could you love me like you did before?
You did before
You did before

(We all make mistakes you said
You were lucky to escape I said
Tomorrow we will run much faster
& one fine morning)
