All the sights ahead
Are things that you have seen
Every sight ahead
Is one you’ve already seen
Every place I go,
You’ve already been
Now I can’t see you
You’ve gone up round the bend
Squint, but can’t see you
Cuz you’re up around the bend
Just gonna wait right here
til you come round again

You’ve gone up round the bend
Squint, but can’t see you
Cuz you’re up around the bend
Just gonna wait right here
til you come round again
