A Lifetime Takes A Lifetime To Fulfill

There's a schoolboy in a raincoat Leaving from the harbour Is he thinking of his hometown, will he ever more return? Every day, he'll be sailing far away Every day, all his lifetime A lifetime takes a lifetime to fulfill There's a diamond and a ruby shining on the sidewalk Will you find them, will you keep them? If you won't, they'll disappear Every road has a diamond made just for you, Every year, all your lifetime A lifetime takes a lifetime to find out You can wander about 'tll you figure it out come-what-may, seize the day, or flitter away you can fiddle a bit with the little twiddly bit ringing through your door Every day come and play Sing your song bring it along wild and free is the melody ringing through your door There's a poem in your mailbox A private piece of paper will you read it, can you hear it? 'cause it's gone before the night Every day, every morning, the words are new Every day, all your lifetime A lifetime takes a lifetime to forget You can wander about 'tll you figure it out come-what-may, seize the day, or flitter away you can fiddle a bit with the little twiddly bit ringing through your door Every day come and play Sing your song bring it along wild and free is the melody ringing through your door A lifetime takes a lifetime to fulfill
