Leo Sayer There and Back Again song lyrics

Sayer

My oh my what do we have here

A world of trouble, a world of fear

And no-where safe you can dissapear to

No long and winding road

John-Boy dont wanna work no more

So he sits and stares at the bathroom floor

Where the tiles collide with the lonely walls

That hold his fear inside

Convinced now that all that was wrong is right

His imagination has taken flight

So he turns the key that unlocks his life

And he takes himself within

He goes there and back again, right there – he goes there

Sheila G had known many men

She decided one day she'd go and see 'em again

She chased down nine from a likely ten

There was one that got away

Well they all lived such bright and happy lives

Said since she left everything had gone right

She thought she would find they were broken men

That only she could mend

Well from that day forward she changed her life

She was a ghostly shadow with a face so white

Said she'd never again try to tempt her fate

'Cos sometimes you're just too late

To go there and back again, she went there and back again

She went there – right there

Well you and me well we'll always be

Considering our place in infinity

As we look back on scenes of eternity, and laugh

'Cos time does such cruel and wicked things

Makes you change your conceptions and shed your skin

'Til you dont who you are or where you've been

But I know one thing and I know it well

It's a sorry soul who's no tale to tell

When evening falls and we reminisce

Saying is that all there is?

We go there and back again, right there – we go there

It's a case of been there, done that yeah……

It's all experience along the way – where ya been – things ya seen.

It all comes down – number one – I'd do it all again – I'd do it all again, I been there, done that yeah….
