I've seen it last for thirty years
+
Seen it bloom and end in tears
+
I've seen it after school and in the park
+
Sat right across me on the tube
+
Seen it miss a stop or two
+
Seen it trying not to fall apart
+
I've heard it laced in every song
+
And still the words all come out wrong
+
It doesn't always answer when you call
+
Brings out the worst, brings out the best
+
I understand it less and less
+
I guess I'm not supposed to know it all
+
I've seen it dance with friends around the table
+
In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise
+
And it makes me cry to think that I am able
+
To give it back the way it gives to me
+
I've seen it grow old and forget
+
Until it's just a silhouette
+
'Til someone picks it up and sends it on
+
I've seen the films, I've read the books
+
My mum and dad, they got me hooked
+
The fairy tale, the search goes on and on
+
The more you look, the more you find
+
It's all around you all the time
+
Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone
+
Brings out the worst, brings out the best
+
I know it's somewhere in my chest
+
I guess it's been inside me all along
+
