QUEEN - Going Back lyrics

rate me

Words and music by gerry goffin and carole king<br><br>I think I'm going back<br>To the things I learnt so well in my youth<br>I think I'm returning to<br>Those days when I was young enough to know the truth<br>Now there are no games<br>To only pass the time<br>No more colouring books<br>No christmas bells to chime<br>But thinking young and growing older is no sin<br>And I can't play the game of life to win<br>I can recall a time<br>When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend<br>And now I think I've got<br>A lot more than just my toys to lend<br>Now there's more to do<br>Than watch my sailboat glide<br>And every day can be<br>My magic carpet ride<br>And I can play hide and seek with my fears<br>And live my days instead of counting my years<br>Then everyone debates<br>The true reality<br>I'd rather see the world<br>The way it used to be<br>A little bit of freedom's all we lack<br>So catch me if you can<br>I'm going back
