lyrics

In the year of '94
I lost my dayglo dinosaur down at the fair
I looked and he wasn't

There between the teacups
And the muddy patch of ground around the carousel
He jumped or he fell

Though he'd only just that day been bought
In my heart, I never shall regret him
With my ownership of him cut short
I'd not time to use him and forget him

In the year 2000
I embarked upon a novel far beyond my age
Was at a precocious

Staged in high-class London
In that fragile age of decadence between the wars
Stopped reading page four

There are many novels I've enjoyed
That have slipped my mind with my enjoyment
But the one that left me quite annoyed
Is the one in memory's employment

Time and time again I wonder when
It was the last time that I held your hand
It hurts more than I can

Standing on the Cowley road
And wishing we'd had time for it to run its course
The ending was forced

Though I'm gone, I'll still be by your side
In your heart and spirit, I'll be with you
Through your fear my voice will be your guide
Through your doubt, conviction I will give you
I will give you
