How do people do it become friends in a blink
Sitting down at tables, offering one another drinks
Regalling stories that we all have shared
But never really knowing what one another thinks

Chorus
Listen, listen hear the voices
Smiling faces making noises

Have been to places others shared
Have left their presence once they’ve aired
All their opinions of the place
Those who live there, let them share

Chorus

Seen the ruins of days gone by
Seen the beauties that catch their eye
Seen the backstreets not opened to view
Seen what change can do for a few

Chorus

People living for the day
They leave their children free to play
While they relax and enjoy the sun
Awaiting their sunset, their day is done

Chorus

It seems a lifetime since we looked
At all the lights in our view
Many’s a journey has been taken
Many’s a life still to be shaken

Chorus
