I see Johnny in the middle of a roundabout, playing
In his hand was a paper aeroplane
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Am I to blame

I see Mary standing by the river side, waiting
She thinks the queen is coming by
Then I looked around
And she was gone
Why

(lalalalalalalala etc.) 

There’s a thousand answers that I don’t know
I don’t know
Why or how

There’s a thousand feelings that I can’t show
I can’t show
Just right now

I see Simon standing on the railway bridge, spotting
He’s waiting there to see the fastest train
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Am I to blame

I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman’s van, laughing…

Now Mary and Johnny are all together 
And Simon and Jimmy are free
To touch anything and everything they see

I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman’s van, laughing
On his feet were a pair of granddad’s shoes
Then I looked around
And he was gone
Are we to lose

Life’s just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no end  (18x)
