Chalk hills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
Chalk hills and children

(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
Chalk hills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
(Here I go again)
Chalk hills and children
(Here I go again)
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
(Here I go again)
Chalk hills and children
(Here I go again)
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
Chalk hills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes...)
