Another Country

[Verse 1]
When we were apprenticed at roaming
We tried the hills of Spain
The roads were open, the company good
We rose where we had lain
You said we'd take our pleasure again
That our love was not in vain
But Spanish girls with raven curls
Would ease me off my pain

[Verse 2]
When none of our hours were numbered
We strolled on England's shore
Our steps were anxious, our silences long
We rose by the ocean's roar
You tried to take my hand in your own
You tried to rule my brain
But London girls with golden curls
Would ease me off my pain

[Verse 3]
When all our senses were reeling
We sailed to black Tangier
Our eyes were clouded, our kisses were numb
Our time was drawing near
You searched the ashes and searched the coal
Searching a common name
While Arabian girls with perfumed curls
They eased me off my pain

[Verse 4]
You sang of lovers as restless as we
Who in other rooms did lie
Rolling and tumbling all over the night
So why not you and I
You asked me once, you asked me twice
The answer was never the same
While wayfaring girls with ribbon curls
Would ease me off my pain

[Verse 5]
When we were apprenticed at roaming
We left our tales untold
Our loads were lighter, our burdens were few
Our time was growing old
If nothing was ventured and nothing gained
Then nothing still remains
And many a girl with her perfumed curl
Will ease me off my pain
