Around the world in just one day

Is way too fast, or so they say

But whenever we're together

We can easily go round twice



You're all I need and more

All I've been hoping for

But we both know it is

Not our turn this time



Up and down at rapid speed

Inside out I'm turned indeed

As soon as the command is yours

My whole world seems to change



You shine much brighter than

All the stars, but then again

Alas, it seems you came here

Just a bit too late



In another time, and in another place

Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now

I wish you would understand

You're ten years late

I wish you would understand

You're ten years late



And if you were the only rose

That stands in bloom amid all the weed

Still that won't help, and even if

In this world of willows, in which we live

You were the only giant

That won't change a single thing



In another time, and in another place

Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now

I wish you would understand

You're ten years late

I wish you would understand

You're ten years late
