One Million And One Lyrics

I look forward to that, looking forward not back

At the things that I have not the things that I lack

I'm still learning to, turn from black into grey

And from grey into white, from the night into day

As the world goes by

As the world goes by I hide from the sun

I've a million and one

I've no burning desire and nothing to say

Something earnest is often the furthest away

Between making a change and making it stick

I could build us a house build it brick by brick

As the world goes by

As I sink or swim I'll try and I'll try

As the world goes by

And I stand and spin 'til I'm warm and dry

As the world goes by

If I had those wings I'd swarm and I'd fly

As the world goes by

You spun things that I've done

To one million and one

You spun things that I've done

Four, three, two, one

I look forward to that, looking forward not back

At the things that I have not the things that I lack

As the world goes by

As I sink or swim I'll try and I'll try

As the world goes by

If I had those things I'd shrug and I'd sigh

As the world goes by

And I stand and spin 'til I'm warm and dry

As the world goes by

If I had those wings I'd swarm and I'd fly

As the world goes by
