Goin Back — текст песни (Dusty Springfield)

(gerry goffin & carole king)



I think Im goin back

To the things

I learned so well

In my youth



I think Im returning to

Those days

When I was young enough

To know the truth



Now there are no games

To only pass the time

No more colouring books

No christmas bells to chime



But thinking young

And growing older

Is no sin

And I can play

The game of life to win



I can recall the time

When I wasnt ashamed

To reach out to a friend

And now I think Ive got

A lot more than

A skipping rope to lend



Now theres more to do

Than watch my sailboat glide

And everyday can be

My magic carpet ride

And I can play hide and seek with my fears

And live my days instead of counting my years



Let everyone debate the true reality

Id rather see the world the way it used to be

A little bit of freedoms

All we lack

So catch me if you can

Im goin back
