The Swing Of Things

A-Ha


You say the world's an eventful place 
You give me news 
I don't want to know 
You say that I should care 
That I should speak my mind 

Oh, but how can I speak of the world 
Rushing by 
With a lump in my throat 
And tears in my eyes 
Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back 
Or is it still time to get into 
The swing of things 

Let us walk through this windless city 
I'll go on till the winter gets me 
Oh, "sleep..." you wrote "sleep, my dear" 
In a letter somewhere 

Oh, but how can I sleep with your 
voice in my head 
With an ocean between us 
And room in my bed 
Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip 
Or is it still time to get into 
The swing of things 

Oh, when she glows in the dark 
And I'm weak by the sight 
Of this breathtaking beauty 
In which I can hide 
Oh, there's a worldful out there 
Of people I fear 
But given time I'll get into 
The swing of things 

Yes, when she glows in the dark and 
I'm struck by the sight 
I know that I'll need this for the rest of my life 

What have I done 
What lies I have told 
I've played games with the ones that 
rescued my soul 
Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip 
Or is it still time to get into 
The swing of things
