[Verse 1]
Thoughts went racing by a million miles an hour
As you got on your bus, you rode away
Now every town that I come to, and every window I look through
Makes me wonder if the world's too wide for me, too small for you
And as I wander 'round, I think of you with sadness
Though it's barely I remember how you look
And it's not that I am lovelost, simply that I need the eggs
And it's not that I am quaking, I've a problem with my legs

[Chorus]
And it's a wonder
How grown people can carry on this way
And I could talk forever, but there's nothing left to say

[Verse 2]
Oh, I believe so much that everything's important
Oh, I want so much that everything should count
So was I just a little medicine, when you were feeling down?
Are you Simone de Beauvoir, or are you Helen Gurley Brown?

[Chorus]
And it's a wonder
How grown people can carry on this way
And I could talk forever, but there's nothing left to say

[Verse 3]
Oh, I could spend my life just waiting in this foreign isle
I could spend my time just wait for you to care
But if there is a place for everything, it seems you have found yours
I could run naked up Mount Wellington, before you'd be aware

[Chorus]
And it's a wonder
How grown people can carry on this way
And I could talk forever, but there's nothing left to say

[Verse 4]
Pray for the starving children, as they rise to face the day
Pray for the weary travellers, as they're out upon their way
And for us pathetic cowards, with our feet all made of clay
With a world this [?] pray away, there's nothing left to say

[Chorus]
And It's a wonder
How grown people can carry on this way
And I could talk forever, but there's nothing left to say
You know that we could talk together, but there's nothing left to say
Oh, how I'd like to talk to you now, but there's nothing left to say
