The Swing Of Things Lyrics - Scoundrel Days - A-ha

You say the world's an eventful place 

You give me news I don't want to know 

You say that I should care 

That I should speak my mind 

Oh, but how can I speak of the world rushing by 

With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes 

Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back 

Or is it still time to get into the swing of things 

Let us walk through this windless city 

I'll go on till the winter gets me 

Oh, sleep you wrote sleep, my dear 

In a letter somewhere

Oh, but how can I sleep with your voice in my head 

With an ocean between us and room in my bed 

Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip 

Or is it still time to get into the swing of things 

Oh, when she glows in the dark and I'm weak by the sight 

Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide 

Oh, there's a world full out there of people I fear 

But given time I'll get into the swing of things 

Yes, when she glows in the dark and I'm struck by the sight 

I know that I'll need this for the rest of my life 

Oh, I know that I'll need this 

For the rest of my life 

You know that I need 

You know that I need 

Photos 

What have I done, what lies I have told 

I've played games with the ones that rescued my soul 

Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip 

Or is it still time to get into the swing of things
