Sophia

Sophia, Sophia

Say you'll be mine

Don't leave me hanging out to dry

I wait at the factory gates seven days a week

Sophia, Sophia, so fine

You know outside every strong man

There's a weak one trying to get in

Every single good deed's

Just a stone's throw from sin

You sank me with one shot

Just below the waterline

Sophia, Sophia, so fine

I painted you with street signs

To find a way to your heart

But you got another lover

And it's tearing me apart

I thrive on complications

I'm a good old-fashioned masochist

I never got the message

So many signs I missed

I was in no condition to say

'Let’s wait and see'

There's nothing in life so tradgic

As a missed opportunity

So despite the miles and because the night

Intercity 125

Sophia, Sophia, so fine

Well I don't know how we got here

Dumb luck or a twist of fate

But you're walking down the hillside

And you're opening the gate

Sophia, Sophia, seven days a week

Have I told you lately

Yeah I'm almost complete?

Sophia, Sophia, it cuts me up both ways

Try to see it from every point of view

Everything worth fighting for

Comes at such a cost

Sophia, Sophia, I'll never

Forget all the good things I lost

Sophia, Sophia, seven acre smile

Tiffany blue looking at you and your child

Late summer sunshine

Splashed across the floor

Now I know it's all in the details

Now I know what this is for

Three generations walk together

Once more
