You can walk a golden mile
For a carriage and a horse
But who will win
Rule this land
You the victor
Me the hero

I saw you sitting in a club
Can you see the things I did
They didn't care
Never had to
It’s a shame
A tragic tale

I always wanted more than this
A solitary kiss
We were young
We had our ways
A lover that lasts a day
A love that lasts
Just a day

A gypsy lady read your hand
We saw some children
In tatters and rags
They cried into a handbag on a
Snapshot of love
A stupid idea of their family

Did your lover ever speak
Out of the depth
A distant emotion
Guess you never noticed
Guess you never cared
I know your secret

I always wanted more than this
A solitary kiss
We were young
We had our ways
A love that lasts
But just a day
A love that lasts
Just a day

I rode a car and read a book
Watched the sea cascade
Saw you disappear
Into a night
Into the dark where
Nobody knows you
Nobody cares

I always wanted more than this
A solitary kiss
We were young
We had our ways
A love that lasts
But just a day
A love that lasts
Just a day
