40-40 Home Songtext

40-40 Hoem

Think in time
Early evening light will start to fade and we'll be
Called inside to wait for chance to say,
'Can I stay out late or may be just an hour'
But when you call I know that all I have to say is...
'Forty Forty Home' you never could catch me,
With a stocking and a ball
Around the world a Yo-Yo spun.
You would skip and I would run.
Those long days are slipping away.
Days will pass. Taking turns to hide and lose our way,
And beats will change the rhythm of the year
A worn out gate will swingalongasister
And running out calling to a friendly teaser.
'Forty Forty Home' you never could catch me,
My ball against the wall
But around the world a Yo-Yo spun
Dodge the conkers one by one,
But yours always came my way.
Cross my path
Was something I could not expect again
From beast to beauty, beautiful remain
Now slide this way, don't leave your past in shadow
And paper plane will fly your way on golden wings of...
'Forty Forty Home', so now you have caught me
Your stocking said it all.
Played the game and won two three
Made your move and captured me,
So never let me go.
Counting the spots on the lino
It seemed such a waste of time
But can't you stick to your side of the garden
And I to mine!
