lyrics

The lights pick out the figure, standing by the car.
Motionless face to the sky
He pats his pockets for a handful of small change.
Tears are rolling from his eyes.
Find the right words for farewell.
The right words for farewell
Ten minutes to call home.

Stands in the phone box, takes three rings before she’s there
‘Strange note you wrote’ he hears her say
‘Can’t tell you why but please go stay on Jackie’s farm
I may not see you for a while’
Find the right words for farewell
The right words for farewell
Ten minutes to call home.

That night he dreamt he saw the Vulcans flying high
Dark grey bombers in the sky
He shields his face and wakes alone and full of fear
Tears are rolling from his eyes
Find the right words for farewell
The right words for farewell
Ten minutes to call home.
