When I Burn Off Into The Distance

Finley Quaye

Oh so lonely

If only you

Would pull through



Things we have learnt

Now we have returned

We find it strange

To find nothing exchanged



I've been out of the way

I've been out of the way



This is a blast

To the past

Better late

Than bitter and lost



I've been out of my mind

I've been out of my mind to find you



Oh so lonely

If only you would pull through



Fire burn

Money is earned

I found a friend

Money is burned



I've been out of my mind

I've been out of my mind to find you



Things I have learnt

Now I have returned

I find it strange to find nothing has changed



I've been out of the way
