Because I Have No Hope Of Coming Back

by Clive James and Pete Atkin

Because I have no hope of coming back
My little song must go there for me
Singing to my lady fair
Who will never stand again before me
And never will or ever did adore me

Because I have no hope of coming back
My little song must travel to her
Singing to my lady fair
More fluently than when I knew her
And never found a way of talking to her

Go, Little song
And put it right, whatever I said wrong
Get thee into Tuscany
And tell the girl hello for me

Because I have no hope of coming back
My little song is with you ever
Singing to my lady fair
It talks to you un-listened-to for ever
And sings for me who will forget you never
