I Was His Foreigner
And He Was Mine.
We Ate On Terraces
And Drank The Cheapest Wine.
And He Believed In Me
Down By The Serpentine.
How Was I To Know
It Was The Best Thing
To Come Along For A Long Time.

I Turned The Page
And Saw Three Children With Smiles.
I Looked To See
What I Could Make Of The Youngest Child.
And As She Blew The Candles Out
She Turned Five.
How Was I To Know
It Was The Best Thing
To Come Along For A Long Time.

What Do The People At The End Of The World Do
About Time? What About Time?
Their Secret Sleeps With Me.
