On the beach overseas
Icy water slaps at our knees
And the buoy was signaling
As if it knew we were
far from home
And you looked at me
And all I could see
Were the lights that
were flickering
And suddenly we were all alone
It's not an
impossible thing to do
And I'm helpless to do
anything for you
Can't keep from wondering
You were under a spell
Waiting for time to tell
If I could, you know I would
Accept this moment
and sympathize
Then you looked at me
And all I can see
Were the walls closing in again
And the desperation in your eyes
It's not an
impossible thing to do
I know there's a
better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

It's not an
impossible thing to do
And I'm helpless to say
anything to you
I want to see a
better life for you
I can't keep from wondering
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars

who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
