Darling, turn back the clock
Give me time, make it stop
Let´s hold back the news
Stay inside this cocoon

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess we´re in

Sail away in my dreams
Away on untroubled seas
From this worn-out world
That´s torn apart at the seams

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess we´re in

Found a lifetime ago
Down the Portobello Road
Lovers´ snapshots of delight
Those rosy days of black and white

Darling, don´t make the tea
Stay and snooze here with me
I´m not ready for news
Or to leave this cocoon

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess we´re in

Seems a lifetime ago
Power cuts that shut us down at night
And the faces in my mind
Glowing amber in the candlelight
And behind the kitchen shelves
Something´s lost there and out of sight
Young love´s photographs
Growing old in black and white
