When You Thought of Me — текст песни (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 Id climb



I wont be without again, woman

You wont drive me out again, woman

And as you come to learn

All that *ive done was for you

Youll 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

Youve become all the things youve denied

And the loss of ambition

Was colouring your reason

As the pleasure in you died



When you thought of me

Had me on your mind

You never would have dreamed

Of the riches Id find



I wont be without again, woman

You wont drive me out again, woman

And as you come to learn

All that Ive done was for you

Youll see what obsession can do

Woman
