It never could work out
 The time to make plans
 Has passed, faded away

 Oooh the way you look
 Makes my starry eyes shiver
 Then I look away
 Too much for one day

 One thing we share
 Is an ideal of beauty
 Treasure so rare
 That even devils might care

 Your swimming-pool eyes
 In sea breezes they flutter
 The coconut tears
 Heavy-lidded they shed
 Swaying palms at your feet
 You're the pride of your street

 While you worship the sun
 Summer love of fun
 Gold number with neighbours
 Who said you'll go far
 Maybe someday a star
 A fast mover like you
 And your dreams will come true

 All of my hope, and my inspiration
 I drew from you
 Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
 But the winds could not erase
 The memory of your face

 Deep in the night
 Plying very strange cargo
 Our soul-ships pass by
 Solo trips to the stars - in the sky

 Gliding so far
 That the eye cannot follow
 Where do they go
 We'll never know
