(Berenyi)
Tiny children on their own, they learn so fast
How to make new friends, how to play their new games
I remember a man he had shiny hair
Always hanging around when you went away
Little eight year old, she knows too many secrets
Much too young to understand what it means
I remember a woman with silver hair
And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared
And that's how I behaved
Every time that you went away
And now, though I'm older nothing's changed
(playing the same games)
And I knew every day
Came a chance that you'd leave me
So I found what I could to take your place
Told me not to cry
Said that I'd survive
As he waved goodbye
And I want to try
Not to make you cry
Want us to survive
Never say goodbye
But that's how I behave when you go away
Because though I'm older nothing's changed
(playing the same games)
And I know every day
There's a chance that you'll leave me
So I find what I can to take your placeI saw the news this morning
Saw your face accross the screen
And as I poured my coffee
I picked up a magazine
(Chorus)
But as I turned the page, and looked inside, there you were again
Oh these lonely times, they never seem to end -
You're too far
I know I should be there where you are
Today I did some shopping
Just had to clear my mind again
(I can't stop thinkin' 'bout cha)
I hopped into a taxi, seemed...
In a moment I was home... home again
chorus
Tossing and turning in my sleep
I can't make it without you, now
I'm gonna take the next plane out
I got to get to where you are
No matter how near or how far
Or then if you're a star
I know I should be there where you are
chorus
