When we were young and we lived by the sea,   You promised one day that you'd come visit me      Now that we're older you no longer have time   To lie in the sun and dream your life away      Follow the sun   You will see what you've become   A slave to your work - when the day's never done   It's like you've never lived before      We never noticed the passing of time,   The changes in weather of seasons gone by      Now that we're older no longer have time   To lie in the sun and dream our lives away      Follow the sun   And you will see what you've become   A slave to your work - when the day's never done   It's like you've never lived before      Follow the sun   And you will see what you've become   I wanna know if you'll stay   Or come with me following the sun
