[English]

Pacing around the room

Packed up my bag

Jacket and shoes

Taxi should be here soon

Thinking about what i'm going to do when i'm home

'Cuz i know

These cold dark dark nights

Are getting you blue, me too

Hold on, I'll come through

So when you feel like giving up

'Cuz I'm away too much

Thinking we're losing touch

I'll be coming back to you

I'll tell you every time

There's no need to cry

Just remember

I'm aways coming back to you

Back to you

Don't need to say a word

Looking at you

I know it hurts too

Don't forget how time flies

I'll be right back before you open those eyes

So blue, we know

There'll be cold dark dark nights

But whatever you do, ooh

Hold on, I'll come through

So when you feel like giving up

'Cuz I'm away too much

Thinking we're losing touch

I'll be coming back to you

I'll tell you every time

There's no need to cry

Just remember

I'm aways coming back to you

So if you're asleep tonight

Dreaming of X and Y

I'll be racing across the sky

Making my way back to you, babe

So if you're asleep tonight

Dreaming of X and Y

I'll be racing across the sky

Making my way back to you

Back to you

So when you feel like you've had enough

'Cuz I'm away too much

Thinking we're losing touch

I'll be coming back to you

I'll tell you every time

There's no need to cry

Just remember

I'm aways coming back to you

Oooh, back to you

Yeah, I'm aways coming back to you

Oooh, yes

I'm always coming back to you
