40 - 40 Home Lyrics - Singles - Haircut 100

Think in time 

Early evening light will start to fade 

And we'll be called inside 

To wait for chance to say 

Can I stay out late or maybe just an hour 

But when you call I know that all I have to say is... 

Forty forty home 

You never could catch me 

With a stocking and a ball 

Around the world a yo-yo spun 

You would skip and I would run 

Those long days are slipping away 

Days will pass 

Taking turns to hide and lose our way 

And beats will change the rhythm of the year 

A worn out gate will swingalongasister 

And running out calling to a friendly teaser 

Forty forty home 

You never would catch me 

My ball against the wall 

But around the world a yo-yo spun 

Dodge the conkers one by one 

But yours always came my way 

Cross my path was something 

I could not expect again 

From beast to beauty, beautiful remain 

Slide this way 

Don't leave your past in shadow 

And paper plane will fly your way on golden wings of... 

Forty forty home 

So now you have caught me 

Your stocking said it all 

Played the game and won, two, three 

Made your move and captured me 

So never let me go 

Counting the spots on the lino 

It seemed such a waste of time 

But can't you stick to your side of the garden? 

And I to mine! 

Forty forty home 

You never would catch me 

My ball against the wall 

But around the world a yo-yo spun 

Dodge the conkers one by one 

But yours always came my way
