When You Thought Of Me Lyrics - Cliff Richard

From the cradle of England 

To a foreign exchange 

Thorough the clamour of long years away 

I never lost sight of 

The reason that I left you: 

To return to you one day 

From the bleak and familiar 

To the tropical strange 

Through the glamour of empires abroad 

I never abandoned 

The hope of reclaiming 

My legitimate reward 

When you thought of me 

If you had the time 

You never would have known 

The mountains I'd climb

I won't be without again, woman 

You won't drive me out again, woman 

And as you come to learn 

All that *I've done was for you 

You'll see what obsession can do 

Woman 

So the unschooled outcast 

The irascible youth 

Has become all the things you desired 

I took all they offered 

And learned their deceptions 

All relentlessly acquired 

And the eyes of the traveller 

See an obvious truth 

You've become all the things you've denied 

And the loss of ambition 

Was colouring your reason 

As the pleasure in you died 

Photos 

When you thought of me 

Had me on your mind 

You never would have dreamed 

Of the riches I'd find 

I won't be without again, woman 

You won't drive me out again, woman 

And as you come to learn 

All that I've done was for you 

You'll see what obsession can do 

Woman
