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
On every road, there's a diamond made just for you,
Every year, all your lifetime
A lifetime takes a lifetime to find out
You can wander about 'til 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 see 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 'til 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
