When Two Words Drift Apart Songtext
von Cliff Richard

We turned water into wine but that didn′t last
We were the victims of our age
Now we live on different floors
And go our separate ways
And talk behind closed doors
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who′s to blame
When two worlds drift apart

We used to sit around the fire
And whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear
But now we talk an octave higher
In droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who′s to blame
When two worlds drift apart


Do you remember when we were seventeen
We took a boat out for an hour
But we preferred the greenery to the scenery of the sea
And tied up in some cosy cove
Till harbour lights appeared across the bay
Remember remember
Into love and out of mind
A poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind
But love is really crystal clear
It′s only when you need someone the clouds will soon appear
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
It's such a shame but who′s to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Do you remember when laughter was the cure
For all the hard times that we knew
But we forgot to feed the fire - let it all burn down
Warmth returns to cold and poison into pain
It's such a shame but who′s to blame
When two worlds drift apart

Remember...(remember)
