lyrics

Listen people let's get together
We've still got time to do whatever we want
It's been bleak, black, out on the streets that
Our children's feet went pitter pat back when we were young

I've spent enough love carelessly
I've spent enough love
If it's all we need
Why are we so lonely?

There will come a new day, it'll come the old way
After the sun has done and gone
Beneath the sea
There still falls daylight on the other side of all nighters
Spent up and penning lonely poetry
but what will be will be

I've spent enough love carelessly
I've spent enough love
If it's all we need
Why are we so lonely?
