There is the distance we got

Four thousand miles

 From one pen to another_____

Travelled words

are locked in my box

how many years

will they stay

hidden way

 You send your ink on paper to me

 My friends

 took me out

 they couldn't believe it

 When I said that I'm alone

 We had a good time

 The start of a new life [tacet]

Then they took me home

Can it be that you're waiting for me

 do you know what our love is

Never saw such a pretty face before

 do you know what our love is

There is the telephone

There are some photographs

A penknife and a coin

 And time to pass

 So I think of a vineyard

And hotel rooms

And various teas

 and loving sympathy

 My friends come around

 they give me a kick start

 and some happy company

 we talk about stuff

 we talk about good times [tacet]

we share memories

Can it be that you'll wait for me

 do you know what our love is

Never saw such a pretty face before

 do you know what our love is

Can it be that you'll hold for me

 do you know what our love is

Never saw such a pretty face before

 do you know what our love is

Can it be that you're waiting for me

 do you know what our love is

Never saw such a pretty face before

 do you know what our love is
