Darling, turn back the clock
Give me time, make it stop
Let's hold back the news
Stay inside this cocoon

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess we're in

Sail away in my dreams
Away on untroubled seas
From this worn-out world
That's torn apart at the seams

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess we're in

Found a lifetime ago
Down the Portobello Road
Lovers' snapshots of delight
Those rosy days of black and white

Darling, don't make the tea
Stay and snooze here with me
I'm not ready for news
Or to leavе this cocoon

No doubting you
No doubting me
No doubt the mess wе're in

Seems a lifetime ago
Power cuts that shut us down at night
And the faces in my mind
Glowing amber in the candlelight
And behind the kitchen shelves
Something's lost there and out of sight
Young love's photographs
Growing old in black and white
