[00:07.04]I was his foreigner
[00:09.56]And he was mine
[00:13.54]We ate on terraces
[00:16.03]And drank the cheapest wine
[00:21.43]And he believed in me
[00:25.28]Down by the serpentine
[00:31.76]How was I to know
[00:36.73]It was the best thing
[00:40.43]To come along for a long time
[00:53.63]I turned the page
[00:55.14]And saw three children with smiles
[01:00.14]I looked to see
[01:02.35]What I could make of the youngest child
[01:07.89]And as she blew the candles out
[01:13.93]She turned five
[01:18.21]How was I to know
[01:23.24]It was the best thing
[01:26.979996]To come along for a long time
[01:43.06]What do the people at the end of the world do
[01:49.020004]About time what about time
[02:28.85]What do the people at the end of the world do
[02:34.97]About time what about time
[02:44.39]Their secret sleeps with me
[03:13.32]How was I to know
[03:18.52]It was the best thing
[03:22.18]To come along for a long time
[03:31.45]How was I
[03:33.86]How was I to know
[03:36.3]It was the best thing
[03:40.73]To come along for a long time
