Love in a Foreign Place

I put my make up on and

Head for the other side of town

With my dress from the night before

Fading the countdown

Outside a sea of people forming

Walking after work this morning

They look right through me as I’m passing by

Not even so much as an evil eye

The city speaks to you

So much to live for, so much to lose

The end is coming, beginning is here

Anything you look for, you’ll find it here

I found love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It’s my time, it’s now or never

I’ve been so many places

Nowhere could ever turn me down

All I ever wanted was so much more

Than life in a small town

I find it hard to hide my feelings

Looking down to ancient buildings

Looking down on me, towering above

Time was standing still as we fell in love

The city speaks to you

So much to live for, so much to lose

The end is coming, beginning is here

Anything you look for, you’ll find it here

I found love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It’s my time, it’s now or never

I’ve had love as the world was ending

Not getting any younger

I feel life taking over

So much to live for, so much to lose

So much to live for, so much to lose

I’ve been so many places

Nowhere could ever turn me down

All I ever wanted was so much more

Than life in a small town

I found love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It’s my time, it’s now or never

I’ve had love as the world was ending

Not getting any younger

I feel life taking over
