What does it take for you to understand
The many shades of blue
I waited, I waited, I waited
Just for you

I sat alone on a summer night
For a call that never came through
If you heard that I, that I broke down
What would you do?

Cuz I waited, I waited, I waited
On a dream that never came true
I waited, I waited, I waited
Just for you

I wake up late in the afternoon
On those days I don’t sleep through
In my dreams I saw
So many shades of blue

So I ran away to a foreign land
But I swear I still saw you
In the faces of the passersby
All that June

Cuz I waited, I waited, I waited
On a dream that never came true
I waited, I waited, I waited
Just for you

Well, I waited for you in Africa
I heard you had an affair with some prince in Tangiers
Eleven hours in the desert sun
And it all to become clear

So I drank my mind away in Italy
In Sorrento in a sleazy sea-front bar
Was only there it was clear to me
I saw the beauty in a fading scar

So tell me baby do I cross your mind?
Do you take a moment to just rewind?
Oh tell me baby do I cross you mind all the time?

Oh tell me baby do I cross your mind?
Do you take a moment to just rewind?
Oh tell me baby do I cross you mind all the time?

You cannot rewind to the first time
I think from this point
You’ll have to think for yourself
You cannot rewind to the first time
Girl you can’t go home again
Girl you can’t go home again this time

You cannot rewind to the first time
I think from this point
You’ll have to think for yourself
You cannot rewind to the first time
Girl you can’t go home again
Girl you can’t go home again

What does it take for you to understand
The many shades of blue?

Girl you can’t go home again
Girl you can’t go home again

You cannot rewind to the first time
I think from this point
You’ll have to live with yourself
You cannot rewind to the first time
Girl you can’t go home again
Girl you can’t go home again this time

You cannot rewind to the first time
I think from this point
You’ll have to live with yourself
You cannot rewind to the first time
Girl you can’t go home again
Girl we can’t go home again this time

You cannot rewind to the first time
I think from this point
You’ll have to live with yourself
You cannot rewind to the first time
Girl you can’t go home again
Girl you can’t go home again this time
