  • And in plays to write the wire in
    I'll come back again
    Torching time talking rhymes in
    I'll come back again

    Would you like to play
    With the thought of a friend
    In a distant passing stage
    While you lie around
    With your hands up and out
    So resigned you will fall down

    While you around here play
    Wild on the warm and far away
    While you around here play
    The days keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines

    Would you like to play
    With a fool holding hands
    With a one-eyed jack of spades
    While on the deck they sing
    All of the captain's cards are kings
    Still he and the queen are lost at sea
    I hope it isn't you or me

    And I'll be back 'round again
    Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend
    And we'll find that place
    That we had danced in so long ago
    And in plays to write the wire in
    I'll come back again
    Torching time talking rhymes in
    I'll come back again
    With this resigned the letter I sign Writer/s: DAVID JOHN MATTHEWS, MARK ROEBUCK
