Darling you and I’ve been here before,
we were younger then, so was our love.
It’s a road I need not walk again,
something’s faded out and now we’re trapped.
There is gold somewhere
and I’m tired of baking bread for you, my love,
I’d rather do anything else.
Any kid could play a better game than us;
it’s not fun to watch us try.
Darling, you’re so far from being a fool
that I won’t accept any treats from you.
Must have been a long and lonely walk
from your tower to my door,
from your garden to my table.
There is gold somewhere
and I’m tired of baking bread for you, my love,
I’d rather do anything else.
Any kid could play a better game than us;
it’s not fun to watch us try.
On a night like this I learnt to call your name,
it echoed through the halls bold and full, remember when?
Every word we said turned out a lie,
every word we said turned out a lie.
There is gold somewhere
and I’m tired of baking bread for you, my love,
I’d rather do anything else.
Any kid will play a better game than ours;
it’s not fun to watch us try.
