Terry still meets Julie every Friday night   Down at waterloo underground   Nothing much has changed   Except now they're both afraid   But they're not sure what went wrong   Terry holds her tight and says   Some things I can't explain   But in twenty years baby   Some things have got to change   Paradise is gone   If it was ever on   But there's one thing julie   That'll always be the same   My love is a rocket   Like a rocket on fire   Goes straight up to the sky   Love like rocket   Like a rocket on fire   I'm gonna love you till the day I die   But Julie’s not convinced that that's enough anymore   Cos the waterloo sunset won't work for her anymore      Julie cries a lot but she tries to hide the tears   From the kids coming in from school   She's looking at a picture taken Margate '66   Of terry on the pier looking cool   She tries to remember the boy in the snap   But the baby's woken up from her afternoon nap   She runs a wrinkled hand through her tired hair   Then sighs and mutters something sounding close to despair   But love like a rocket   Like a rocket on fire   He's gonna love her till the day he dies   But in the middle of another little household chore   She knows the waterloo sunset won't work for her anymore      Standing on the bridge terry stops and checks his wrist   As the water rushes by below   It's almost half past six but the people moving by   Make it seem like twenty years ago   Julie gets there late but she always makes him wait   Until the sky turns from red to gold   She says "terry I don't think we should come here no more"   And like he's waited for this moment   He just stares and says "I know"   And love like a rocket   Like a rocket on fire   Goes straight up to the sky   Loves like a rocket   Like a rocket on fire   He'll love her till the day he dies      And then he squeezes julie's hand as the water starts to glow   A tear falls in the river then disappears with the flow   And is gone
