I see Johnny in the middle of a roundabout, playing

In his hand was a paper aeroplane

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Am I to blame



I see Mary standing by the river side, waiting

She thinks the queen is coming by

Then I looked around

And she was gone

Why



(lalalalalalalala etc.) 



There's a thousand answers that I don't know

I don't know

I know how



There's a thousand feelings that I can't show

I can't show

Just right now



I see Simon standing on the railway bridge, spotting

He's waiting there to see the fastest train

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Am I to blame



I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman's van, laughing…



Now Mary and Johnny are all together 

And Simon and Jimmy are free

To touch anything and everything they see



I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman's van, laughing

On his feet were a pair of granddad's shoes

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Are we to lose



Life's just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no aim  (18x)
