I can't help looking at you
you look so perfectly sad
with your hands in your pockets
and mine on your shoulders

You've been talking to them again
and what they do is explain and explain
all it takes is getting older

And we haven't got a penny in the world I know
but if you won't tell then I won't tell

And on a better day
skywriting
we'll put a little away
skywriting

I remember when I was young
how once I wanted to scream and shout
I opened my mouth and nothing came out

And we haven't got a penny in the world I know
but if you won't tell then I won't tell

And on a better day
skywriting
we'll put a little away
for when its raining
and on a better day
skywriting
we'll put a little away
and say
goodbye...
