Hey, down in splendour 
Join the slide 
Standing on the seashore 
And the tide 
Comes rolling through your eyes 
You've got no place to go 
Comes rolling through your mind 
You've got no one to know 
Hey, down in splendour 
Take a bow 
Blinded in the white light 
And the crowd 
Die slowly in your arms 
You're left to lie alone 
And save your face of changing colour 
And your smile of fading colour 
'Cause you'll never know another 
Who will give you ever after 
And you shouldn't have to say goodbye 
And wonder if this way is how 
It's gonna be 
And you shouldn't have to say goodbye 
And wonder if this way is how 
It's gonna be 
And save your face of changing colour 
And your smile of fading colour 
'Cause you'll never know another 
Who will give you ever after 
And you shouldn't have to say goodbye 
And wonder if this way is how 
It's gonna be 
And you shouldn't have to say goodbye 
And wonder if this way is how 
It's gonna be 
And you shouldn't have to say goodbye 
And wonder if this way is how 
It's gonna be
