History

I wander lonely streetsBehind where the old Thames does flowAnd in every face I meetReminds me of what I have run from

In every man, in every handIn every kiss, you understandThat living is for other menI hope you too will understand

I've got to tell you my taleOf how I loved and how I failedI hope you understandThese feelings should not be in demand

In every child, in every eyeIn every sky, above my headI hope that I knowSo come with me in bedBecause it's you and me, we're historyThere ain't nothing left to sayWhen I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a roomWhere we could see what we should doMaybe you know it's trueLiving with me is like keeping a fool

In every man, in every handIn every kiss, you understandThat living is for other menI hope you know that I am me so come onI'm thinking about historyAnd I'm living for historyAnd I think you know about meCause I am

And one and one is twoBut three is companyWhen you're thinking about the things you doAnd you're thinking about the things you doI want to tell you my taleHow I failed in love and jumped out on my bailDo you understand there's more in a smile than in a handIn every sky, in every kissThere's one thing that you might have missed

Why am I going toA place that now belongs to youBut you are me and so am ILet's pick it up, let's even tryTo live today, so why not smileDon't dream away your life coz it is mineIs that a crime (repeat) this life is mineBut the bed ain't made but it's built full of hopeI've got a skin full of dope (repeat)
