Oh, the place of my birth It was only an accident Why else would I... Need to go to the ends of the earth Just to find myself Just to find myself some time Well I'd like nothing more than to leave Your sad monuments And your dumb fountains behind Behind... Behind... I used to get so down before Until I realised Oh, it was you 'Cause you seem so void of life Used to tell me that it isn't true Staring down at my feet Strolling out on your ugly street Asking why I waste my time The mere thought of your chime To compete with the sun tenderly Oh, I laugh until I cry I cry... I cry... I used to get so down before But then I realised Oh, it was you But you seem so void of life You used to tell me that it isn't true Oh, true I used to get so down before But then I realised Oh, it was you But you seem so void of life You used to tell me that it isn't true Oh, true But if you're telling me I have to stay Please tell me that it isn't true
