When I was sixteen, so eager and green
I searched for the belle of the ball
She never appeared, so often I feared
I might be alone after all
Night after night I hid from the light
Until you appeared at my side
You held out your hand, told of a land
Where you said I'd have nothing to hide
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly
How your sweet lips would sing, saying I was a king
Whose crown had been stolen away
We get what was mine, just a little more time
A little more out of my day
Round after round I followed you down
But I never could find the way
Your smile disguised, a hole in your eyes
Where the door to your heart should have been
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly
When I look in the rain, you're standing so near
Your breath turns, my colour to twine
But when I turn around, there's just empty ground
No-one's reflection but mine
But some sweet day, before my life fades away
A hand will be offered to me
Not a stiff hand I turn calloused nor burned
But gentle, lovely and free
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day
Some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
