I heard a sound

I followed it around

Around the world and back

Still all I see is you and me, my love



My rags were torn

My dignity forlorn

I had to choose

So I danced out both my shoes and played the blues, my love



I wanna take you down

Just a little closer now

I want to see you again

In times between, ten world's apart

I'm in the doldrums baby, the doldrums of your mind



Well I was wrong

I wasn't very young

Young enough to feel the way they burn in me

The wild flames of love

So I'll meet you there

Cause I've been everywhere, Soho Square


And still your liberty is killing me, my love



I wanna take you down

Just a little closer now

I want to see you again

In times between, ten world's apart

I'm in the doldrums baby, the doldrums of your mind



I wanna take you down

Just a little closer now

I want to see you again

With sunlight thrown from the sky

I wanna take you down

Just a little closer now

I want to see you again

In times between, ten world's apart

I'm in the doldrums baby, the doldrums of your mind
