Could it have been different?
And when it started you wondered why. And now all too soon it’s time to say goodbye. You’ll never know how I’ll need you when it’s time to start again.
A hand reaching out for the sky. You were the player but you didn’t try. And now it’s time to look back and cry. For a love gone by.
Brave new me
I’m leaving home. No two ways about it. I’ve been called away there is no way I can stay leaving home. Mama this is goodbye, don’t cry The time has come and I must fly. Fly away. Fly away. Fly away.
By plane or sea or motorcar no matter where it is too far. Got to find a place to hide. Poor Mary-Ann I made her cry and when I think about it all I can see is a brave new me.
Those poor old saps I left behind Those rock and rollers just can’t find Answers that they’re looking for Are right behind the magic door, They’re free and you all can be like a brave new me.
I’m leaving home.No two ways about it. I’ve been called away there is no way I can stay leaving home. Mama this is goodbye, don’t cry. The time has come and I must fly. Fly away. Fly away. Fly away.
