When you were younger Blue eyed boy wonder Never used to ponder On what life may hide Now that you're older The nights are so much colder Never even told her How you feel inside You were so proud With your head up in the white clouds She'd call you so loud But you'd never know Now that you're wiser You'd never compromise her Ever day you'd realise her But this bird has flown And you've blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you've never done She would wait for you Idolise, adore you Love and rea**ure you You couldn't let it be You let it linger Slip on through your fingers So that September She moved across the sea How your face dropped And how your heart stopped Sitting at the bus stop When they told you that she'd gone So you run to the harbour Need to tell her that you love her As the boat disappears You never felt so alone 'Cause you've blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you never done Where were you when her hour of need had come? Now you curse yourself for things you never done Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why So your answer don't be scared of failure For the only failure is never to try
