This is the role I play
And I cannot remake it
Those are the words I say
And I do not, cannot, fake it
Even with the cake
Left out in the rain
I have to move on
I must forsake it
The presence is no longer
There to give me pain
There is a light, a light
And I know that I can make it
No more the sad romance
Waiting to dictate it
No more nostalgic thoughts
No more to placate it
But don’t you forget
Those days running on the sand
Don’t you go forget
Rejoice, remember, o yes, how grand
To skip, and to laugh
And to make love upon this land
To skip, to laugh, and to dance
To make love upon this land
