Think in time Early evening light will start to fade And we'll be called inside To wait for chance to say Can I stay out late or maybe just an hour But when you call I know that all I have to say is... Forty forty home You never could catch me With a stocking and a ball Around the world a yo-yo spun You would skip and I would run Those long days are slipping away Days will pa** Taking turns to hide and lose our way And beats will change the rhythm of the year A worn out gate will swingalongasister And running out calling to a friendly teaser Forty forty home You never would catch me My ball against the wall But around the world a yo-yo spun Dodge the conkers one by one But yours always came my way Cross my path was something I could not expect again From beast to beauty, beautiful remain Slide this way Don't leave your past in shadow And paper plane will fly your way on golden wings of... Forty forty home So now you have caught me Your stocking said it all Played the game and won, two, three Made your move and captured me So never let me go Counting the spots on the lino It seemed such a waste of time But can't you stick to your side of the garden? And I to mine! Forty forty home You never would catch me My ball against the wall But around the world a yo-yo spun Dodge the conkers one by one But yours always came my way
