I DEDICATE,
TODAY TO YESTERDAY,
‘COS IT GOT AWAY,
LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT,
GONE WITHOUT A TRACE.
NO I CANT BE BLAMED,
IF I TRIP, STUMBLE AND FALL,
LIKE A NEW BORN BABY I MIGHT NOT BELIEVE IT NOW
BUT SOON I’LL LEARN TO WALK.
CHORUS: (X2)
IM GUESSING IT ALL TAKES TIME,
GUESSING IT ALL TAKES TIME,
TO LIVE LIFE BETTER.
WELL I’M A LUCKY FISH,
‘COS ONE MORNING IN ALL ITS GLORY,
WITH THE DAY SPREAD BEFORE ME,
I RECEIVED A KISS, FROM LOVE HERSELF,
UNDERNEATH THE STAGE,
EIGHT YEARS AGO,
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF JOHANNESBURG,
OH I’M A LUCKY FISH,
‘COS IM STILL SWIMMING FREE IN A WIDE OPEN KISS.
CHORUS: (X2)
I WAS A BOY, NOW I’M A MAN,
WHEN DID IT CHANGE?
YOU WERE A GIRL, NOW YOU’RE A WOMAN BEARING CHILDREN INTO THE WORLD.
I DIDN’T LIKE GIRLS MUCH THEN,
BUT I SURE CAN’T GET ENOUGH,
NO I SURE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF YOU WOMAN, WOMAN.
CHORUS: (X2)
OH LORD,
I GOT AN ETERNITY,
INSIDE OF ME.
OH LORD,
THIS ETERNITY INSIDE OF ME.
OH LORD,
OH LORD,
ETERNITY.
Lyrics: R. Eliot
