at a small caf
in a big city
sits a man
with his life in his hands
watch the nod of his head
his eyes heavy lidded cause
the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime there's a girl
with a smile
on a boat
with her brother
sailing for a visit of a year
she says goodbye to her home
and all things familiar cause
the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime take the train
back and forth
over the border
with suitcases piled overhead
will the officer scowl
and stop before pa**ing
will he stop before pa**ing the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime
the world turns on a dime
