As far as we can go (extended version)

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY, I SEE IT ON YOUR FACE.
WHEN TEARS FALL
THEY LEAVE A TRACE.

I TOLD MYSELF IT WON'T BE LONG,
IT'S TOO BAD
TO LOSE WHAT WE HAD.

I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.

PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,
THE RUMOURS HAD TO FLOW.
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

IT'S TOO BAD BUT I THINK YOU KNOW
LOVE WILL DIE
WHEN IT CEASES TO GROW.

JUST LIKE A ROSE THAT GROWS AND GROWS
SOME DAY WILL BLOOM
OR SO WE ASSUME

WHEN THE GROUND RUNS DRY THE ROSE WILL DIE. PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,
THE RUMOURS HAD TO FLOW.
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.

PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,
THE RUMOURS HAD TO FLOW.
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO - MM-MM .
