Somerset West

Raindrops hit the tarmac
And turn this dust to mud
Well an old man walks alone
Down Long Street
Dreaming of his youth
And being in love

I've got the feeling
That I'm walking in his shoes
Every step I take is a tragic fake
I got everything to lose
But I just can't keep
Myself away from you

You know that I want this
But I can't stay here tonight
And with heart that weighs a thousand tons
I wave the world goodbye
And a cold wind blows from Somerset West
Straight across the path that takes you home
And I'm always the last one holding on

Darling this is madness
You'll kill us both like this
Well aching eyes
And desperate lips
Are not enough to save this kiss

I'm a lie
You just can't trust me
I'm killing everything you love
Well the Midas touch
Never hurt so much
So I'm begging you to work cos I can't stop this thing that I've become

You know that I want this
But I can't stay here tonight
And with heart that weighs a thousand tons
I wave the world goodbye
And a cold wind blows from Somerset West
Straight across the path that takes you home
And I'm always the last one holding on

Dream on darling
There is a cold wind blowing
Across this path
That takes you all the way back home

Dream on darling
There is a cold wind blowing
Across this path

You know that I want this
But I can't stay here tonight
And with heart that weighs a thousand tons
I wave the world goodbye
And a cold wind blows from Somerset West
Straight across the path that takes you home
And I'm always the last one holding on

And I can't stay here tonight
And with heart that weighs a thousand tons
I wave the world
Wave the world goodbye

The wind that blows across the path
That takes you home tonight
The wind that blows
Across the path
That takes you home tonight
So cold
