Tom and Meg
LIKE SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE...
WERE A MILLION MILES APART..
NOW THAT'S A CRAZY MOVIE..
BUT WHILE YOUR IN OZ..
THE LAND OF DREAMS..
I AM HERE IN DEAR OLD BLIGHTY...
WASTING NOT A SECOND...
LIVING EVERY MINUTE...
WISHING EVERY HOUR..
HOPING FOR A FUTURE THAT'S FAR
AWAY.......
TWELVE HOUR TIME ZONES DRIVING
US NUT'S...
FOR YOU THE NIGHT..
AND ME THE DAY..
I'M WAKING IN THE MORNING....
WAITING FOR YOUR CALL..
BUT YOUR JUST COMING HOME FROM
WORK.....
AND I WILL HAVE TO WAIT...
WE CAN'T GO OUT AND SEE A FILM...
OR POP AROUND FOR COFFEE....
HAVE TEA IN BED ON SUNDAY MORNINGS..
MEET YOUR FRIENDS FOR DRINKS...
OR WALK THE DOGS...
CAN'T CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY...
OR EVEN GO SHOPPING...
KEEP PUPPY CLOSE WHEN THERE'S A
STORM...
AND WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOUR NOT
WELL......
I SHOULD BE THERE........
BUT I AM A FAR AWAY...
MIGHT AS WELL BE IN OUTER SPACE....
DISTANCED BY THE WORLD...
SITTING HELPLESS IN MY LIFE...
PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO TELL THE WORLD...
ABOUT OUR LOVE...
ON NATIONAL RADIO...
THEN THEY COULD FLY MY HEART TO YOU...
NOW TOGETHER THAT WOULD BE GOOD....
MEET YOU ON THE HARBOUR BRIDGE.............
