You talked so tough but you were naked inside
It was hard for you to hide anything
You knew I came from so far away
That I could never stay for very long
You wanted me to chase you
I knew there was a chance
That any feeling we had
Would rule our circumstance
If I could be there I would be there now
Fight through the noisy crowd
Until I found you
If I could be there on the hot stone street
Where we used to meet
I would be laughing
All of the children reached for your hand
I'd stand among them
If I could be there one more time
It was a wavelength we held in tune
It ended too soon to really know
The temperature tumbled
Only birds knew in advance
The seasons broke our trance
And I was going home
Now if I find you
It's in my sleep
I never knew before now
That my life was incomplete
If I could be there I would be there now
Fight through the noisy crowd
Until I found you
If I could be there on the hot stone street
Where we used to meet
I would be laughing
All of the children reached for your hand
I'd stand among them
If I could be there one more time
Soon I'll escape
Maybe too late
And you'll be gone
I can't believe
You're just a memory
Going on and on
Do you think of me?
If I could be there I would be there now
Fight through the noisy crowd
Until I found you
If I could be there now
If I could be there on the hot stone street
Where we used to meet
I would be laughing
If I could be there now
If I could be there I would be there now
Fight through the noisy crowd
Until I found you
If I could be there now
If I could be there on the hot stone street
Where we used to meet
I would be laughing
If I could be there now
If I could be there I would be there now
Fight through the noisy crowd
Until I found you
If I could be there now
If I could be there on the hot stone street
Where we used to meet
I would be laughing
