I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you two will understand

I’ve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand

I’ve got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man

In every child, in every eye
In every sky, above my head
I hope that I know
So come with me in bed
Because it’s you and me, we’re history
There ain’t nothing left to say
When I will get you alone

Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know it’s true
Living with me is like keeping a fool< In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I want to tell you my tale How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail I hope you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's something that I might have missed

Why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak and so was I Let's pick it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life 'Cause it is mine Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine The bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope
