Verse 1 

People on benches in a round in the sun

An historical park where dogs love to run 

The plane trees so old, my watery eyes 

My lemon balm tea I sip through my sighs 

 

Verse 2 

A fluffy cute schnauzer the laughter of a boy 

Click clacks of a tram and a lonely lost toy 

I hear words about the soul

Someone’s feeling a hole 

There’s a kind friendly face 

That fills in the space 

 

Chorus 

I haven’t got time to take it back (backing vocal take it back) 

There’s a mouldy strawberry in my pack 

(Bv my pack) 

I’m wishing you could just come back 

(Come back) 

All together 

And we could write a song 

We could get along 

 

Verse 3 

The icy blue night it blows a gale 

My tender heart’s reeling 

But no one’s to blame 

You’re staring at me from behind a framed screen 

I long to talk to you and say exactly what I mean 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verse 4

I never knew something could be so strong 

Or how I could feel you for ohhh sooo long 

They say give it some time 

They won’t be on your mind 

But that’s never occurred 

And now it’s absurd 

All together chorus 

 

Chorus

I haven’t got time to take it back 

There’s a mouldy strawberry in my pack (my pack) 

I’m wishing you would just come back (come back) 

And we could write a song 

We could get it onnnnnn 

 

Bridge 

We’re wearing the same hat 

And we’re wearing the same shirt 

Don’t you think it’s funny 

We’re needing both the money and the love 

Don’t you think it’s funny 

We’re needing both the money and the love. 

Don’t you think it’s funny we’re needing both the money and the love.
