India

India my dear, you're almost out of luck
That slender chain of pearls you wear
Around your slender neck
Is fallen to the floor - why don't you pick it up?
India my dear

It's not that i don't love you
But the world's moved on
And the colours in your eyes
Don't mix with mine
It's not that i don't trust you
But there's nothing more to say
India, my dear

India my dear, you're nothing but kindness
And i don't expect you'd say the same of me
We did all of our crying in a lay-by by the road side
And i can see so clearly now i can no longer see

Did you know when i first saw you
I felt i was falling into grace:
To see your bright hair burning
Around your smiling face?
But i see the colours fading from you
Like you're too much in the light
And i hate to watch you fading, india

India my dear - we're almost out of time
I can't sit and watch you crumble like a child
There's colours out there in the rain
That i first saw in your eyes
India my dear

It's not that i don't love you
But there's nothing more to say
And the colours in your eyes
Don't mix with mine
It's not that i don't trust you
But the world's moved on
India my love
